Abstract
The anti-microbial properties against Listeria monocytogenes of pure flavonoids rutin, catechin and quercetin; non-flavonoids gallic, vanillic, protocatechuic and caffeic acids and total polyphenols of three Argentinean wines, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Merlot varieties were investigated. The non-flavonoid caffeic acid and the flavonoids rutin and quercetin were the compounds with higher inhibitory activities on L. monocytogenes growth. The knowledge of the anti-listerial effect of different wines varieties could be the basis to demonstrate if the wine consumption with a meal may collaborate in the health protection against some foodborne organisms such as L. monocytogenes.
