Abstract

Due to the lack of studies on chestnut metabolites, this study was conducted to identify and quantify the major phenolic constituents in chestnuts. Data were compared with the three most commonly grown interspecific hybrids of C. sativa and C. crenata (‘Bouche de Betizac’, ‘Marsol’, and ‘Maraval’) and three “native” accessions of C. sativa. High-performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry was used to identify and quantify these compounds. Four dicarboxylic acid derivatives, five hydroxybenzoic acids, nine hydroxycinnamic acids, and three flavanols were identified and quantified, most of them for the first time. Hydroxybenzoic acids were the major phenolic compounds in all chestnut cultivars/accessions, followed by flavanols, dicarboxylic acid derivatives, and hydroxycinnamic acids. Of all the compounds studied, the (epi)catechin dimer was the most abundant in chestnut. The assumption that cultivars from commercial hybrids have a better and different metabolic profile than “native” accessions was refuted.
