Anthocyanins Catechins Condensed Tannins and Piceid Production in Vitis-Vinifera Cell Bioreactor Cultures
Suspension cultures of Vitis vinifera in a stirred fermenter showed characteristics of growth and polyphenol metabolism similar to that found in shake flasks. In the induction medium, the cells produced mainly anthocyanins (1200 mg/l), proanthocyanidins (220 mg/l), catechins (8 mg/l) and trans-piceid (30 mg/l).
