Blackcurrant and Tilia samples enabled reference spectra of purified proanthocyanidin (PA) fractions, crude extracts and milled plant tissues, with characteristic resonances at 155, 144 and 132 ppm. PC/PD ratios were estimated from the I132/I155 intensity ratio and differed by 2.5 to 5.9% compared to thiolysis data. Normalization to the 155 ppm signal intensity from reference spectra enabled analysis of PA contents with an error of ca 8 g PAs/100 g plant tissue. The procedure estimates the lignin contribution and allows for a correction of the PA content. In six sainfoin accessions, estimated PA contents, were 1.6- to 20.8-fold higher than the thiolysis and 1.4- to 2.6-fold higher than the HCl-butanol-acetone results. Method differences may reflect the presence of unextractable, possibly high molecular weight PAs in sainfoin.
