title: A preliminary study of presence of resveratrol in skins and pulps of European and Japanese plum cultivars.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Resveratrol is a polyphenol with health properties being mainly present in the skins of several foods. However, any study has been carried out to analyze the presence of this stilbene in the plum fruit from the genus Prunus in European and Japanese cultivars.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The analysis of resveratrol from the skin in different cultivars of plums from Spanish markets with liquid chromatography coupled to ultraviolet (LC-UV) detector with subsequent confirmation by LC-MS/MS has been demonstrated that contents of this compound in plums ranged from 0.1 to 6.2 µg/g.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Values of resveratrol in European plum cultivars is higher than in Japanese cultivars.
