At red wine pH, malvidin-3-glucoside (mv-3-glc), the major anthocyanin of red wine, is expected to be present mainly in its non-colored hemiketal form. However, due to copigmentation with flavanols (e.g. epicatechin), the stabilization of the colored forms of mv-3-glc occurs. Some flavanols have been linked to astringency, due to their ability to interact/precipitate salivary proteins, namely proline-rich proteins (PRPs). So, a major question is if this copigmentation interaction could affect the ability of flavanols to interact with SP. To answer this, the effect of the interaction between mv-3-glc and epicatechin with basic and acidic PRPs, was investigated by saturation-tranfer difference (STD)-NMR and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC).The most relevant result was that epicatechin:mv-3-glc mixture presents a synergic effect toward the interaction with both PRPs when compared to individual polyphenols. Furthermore, was observed that epicatechin interaction was driven by hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions while mv-3-glc interaction was driven by electrostatic interactions.
