The effects of roasting on extractable and bound proanthocyanidins of Turkish Tombul hazelnut and its skin were studied. Natural (raw) and roasted hazelnuts as well as roasted hazelnut skin were extracted, hydrolysed, and analysed by normal-phase high performance liquid chromatography. Natural hazelnut extractable proanthocyanidins were 81% oligomers (4-9mers) and polymers (>= 10mers). However, roasted hazelnut extractable proanthocyanidins were only monomers to trimers. This decrease was apparently due to skin loss during roasting. Additional proanthocyanidins of roasted hazelnut residue were recovered by alkaline hydrolysis. In contrast, natural hazelnut had proportionally less bound proanthocyanidins, mainly as dimers. Roasted hazelnut skin proanthocyanidins were 21% bound with mainly dimers, trimers, and tetramers recovered after alkaline hydrolysis. These data suggest that prior studies may have underestimated hazelnut proanthocyanidin content because a significant quantity of bound proanthocyanidins is not recoverable by conventional organic solvent extraction.
