In 2005, the European Union authorized the use of oak wood pieces in winemaking, and consequently, the addition of oak chips has been generalized. Thus, the antioxidant capacity, scavenger activity, and ellagitannins content from fourteen different commercial oak wood pieces (Quercus spp.) that can be found on the Portuguese market as alternatives to barrels for aging wines were studied. Commercial oak wood pieces samples from Quercus petraea had significantly higher antioxidant activity values than the pieces from Quercus alba species. In general, antioxidant capacity and scavenging activity decrease with the toasting level of the oak wood pieces samples analyzed. A similar effect was detected in the individual ellagitannin content studied. On the other hand, with the toasting process, the total phenolic content and the ellagic acid concentration increased. Finally, a correlation analysis revealed that ellagitannins contribute to the antioxidant capacity of oak wood pieces studied. From the data presented in this paper, antioxidant capacity and ellagitannin content of the oak wood pieces studied have been clearly related either to the oak wood species used, particle size, or to toasting levels.
