Article Commentary: Tryptophan-Ethylester, the False (Unveiled) Melatonin Isomer in Red Wine

Among the food plants, the presence of melatonin in grapes ( Vitis vinifera L.) deserves particular attention because of the production of wine, an alcoholic beverage of economic relevance and with putative healthy effects. Furthermore, melatonin isomers have been detected in wine too. Recently, one...
