“…The Japanese knotweed is an invasive plant that grows in heavily polluted environments and is contaminated with heavy metals. Additional concerns about the safety of resveratrol supplements have been raised, due to the possibility of the root tissue of Japanese knotweed to cellular uptake of these contaminants [16,17].…”

There is increasing evidence surrounding the health benefits of E-resveratrol; this has triggered interest in stilbenoids in grapes, wine, and by-products. On the one hand, there is an enormous amount of underutilized vine waste, rich in bioactive substances during wine production. On the other hand, there is a growing demand for promising phytochemicals, for dietary and pharmaceutical purposes. Vine shoots are promising sources of stilbenoids; they have economic potential because they are sources of high-value phytochemicals. Recent studies have shown that, due to biosynthesis pathway genes, especially STS (forming trans-resveratrol), which is abundant during storage periods of vine shoots—trans-resveratrol accumulates up to 40-fold. The objective of this research was to determine the most economical part of vine waste to be exploited, and to study the kinetics of resveratrol increase in a 90-day period, to determine the optimal storage period to reach a maximum trans-resveratrol content. Total phenolic content (TPC) and antioxidant activity (AA) were studied to determine possible correlations. In Fetească Neagră vine shoot varieties stored at laboratory temperatures, trans-resveratrol content increased to a maximum (2712.86 mg/kg D.W.) at day 70, and then slightly decreased until day 90. TPC remained constant and there was a slight increase in AA. Vine shoots contained the largest amounts of trans-resveratrol (1658.22 mg/kg D.W.), followed by tendrils (169.92 mg/kg D.W.), and leaves (43.54 mg/kg D.W.).

“…Some differences can be found even between genotypes of the same species [25]. Berchová-Bímová et al [26] have investigated the role of different cytotypes of three Fallopia taxa in Cd, Pb and Zn absorption. In this study, the concentrations of heavy metals were significantly higher in underground parts of plants (roots and rhizomes) than in aboveground parts [26].…”

Pollution with heavy metals is one of the most noticeable environmental problems due to their adverse ecological effects reported by many publications [1-3]. Toxic metals contaminating the soils create difficult conditions for most plants growing in them. They may cause various morphological, physiological, and biochemical dysfunctions in plants, either directly or indirectly, and cause damaging effects [2]. Heavy metal toxicity in plants varies with plant species, specific metal, content of metal, its chemical form, soil composition and pH. Some metals, including Cu, Mg, Co, Zn and Cr, are essential to plants in trace amounts, but only when metals are present in bioavailable forms, and at excessive levels they have the potential to become toxic to plants [4]. Others, such as Mg,

“…Some studies showed that an additional compound such as emodin is present in unpurified or partially purified resveratrol extracts, and could have a laxative effect [30]. Because the plant thrives even in environments heavily polluted with heavy metal-contaminated soils, cellular uptake of these contaminants by root tissues raises additional concerns about the safety of commercial resveratrol preparations obtained from the roots of this plant [31,32]. Another representative source for the extraction of this valuable compound is the waste from the wine industry, which abounds in this compound.…”

Resveratrol (3, 4', is a natural phenolic compound synthesized by plants in response to various stressful circumstances (mechanical injury, siege of bacteria or fungi and UV exposure). Commercial resveratrol supplements on the market are mostly extracted from Japanese knotweed. As it grows even in heavily polluted environments and the presence of emodin, which is a compound that may have laxative effects and is found in partially purified extracts, additional concerns about the safety of these commercial preparations were raised. An alternative source of resveratrol intensely studied in recent years is vine waste, with recent studies showing high concentrations of resveratrol in extracts. In the last years, the researcher's attention is focused on obtaining an efficient method of extraction and purification of this compound from the vine waste to show that this material can be used as a raw material for production of commercial supplements of resveratrol.
