The grape reaction product (GRP, GRP1 or 2-S-glutathionylcaftaric acid[1]) is a phenolic compound explaining the disappearance of caftaric acid from grape must during processing.[2] It is also found in aged red wines.[3] Its enzymatic production by polyphenol oxidase is important in limiting the browning of musts,[4] especially in white wine production. The product can be recreated in model solutions.[5][6]
Determining its concentration in wine is possible by mass spectrometry.[7]
Other related molecules are trans-caffeoyltartrate derivatives like GRP o-quinone[10] and 2,5-di-S-glutathionyl cafteoyl tartrate (GRP2)[11] or adducts with anthocyanidins.[12]
