Graphical Abstract: The inhibition of nornicotine nitrosation was studied. The concentration of nornicotine was 100 μM and nitrite 1000 μM. As inhibitors were used following compounds: ascorbic acid (as reference) (800, 1000, and 5000 μM), dihydroxyfumaric acid (1000 μM), (+)catechin (1000 μM), resveratrol (1000 μM), tartaric acid (1000 μM), quercetin (1000 μM), and grape seed extract (50, 100, 150 μg/ml). The best inhibitory effect was obtained for AAs at 5000 μM (90.7%), (+)Ct (95.5 %) and GSE at 150 μg/ml (96.1%). The small inhibitory effect was observed for TA – 22,5%.
