Concentrated muscadine pomace extract was chromatographically analyzed for its individual phenolic, flavonoid, and anthocyanidin compounds. This extract was also characterized regarding its total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), antioxidative activities in terms of scavenging DPPH free radicals, reducing ferric, and chelating Fe²⁺. The TPC of this product was 34.1±1.8mg of gallic acid equivalents(GAE)/g of extract, and TFC was 3.0±0.3mg of quercetin equivalents/g of extract. Some phenolic compounds including ellagic acid, gallic acid, (−)-epicatechin, (−)-epigallocatechin, catechin, myricetin, quercetin, and kaempferol were identified. Some anthocyanidins including delphinidin, cyanidin, petunidin, peonidin, and malvidin were also identified in the extract by using a combination of retention and spectral properties on a reverse-phase HPLC-PDA. In addition, 3,3′,4,4′5,5′-hexahydroxystilbene-a resveratrol analogue present in the extract was identified for the first time by LC-MS. The results from this study demonstrate that the muscadine pomace extract is rich of natural antioxidants such as phenolics, flavonoids and anthocyanins, and possesses strong antioxidant properties. Besides, the developed methods can be used for routine quality control of the muscadine products for manufacturing efficiency and consistency.
