They found that several samples contained varying amounts of the compound. Analysis of extracts of the skin, juice/pulp, and seed of muscadine grapes showed that its concentration in fruit skin was highest.

The Necessity of Salt Once upon a time there was a king who had three daughters. Because they were goodand beautiful he loved them all sincerely. He did not know which one he should appoint asqueen.As his birthday approached he summoned his daughters and said to them, 'My dearchildren, I love all three of you sincerely, and for a long time have not known which one ofyou I should name to be the heir to my throne. But I have now decided that the one of youshall become queen who brings to me a birthday present that is most necessary in humanlife.
Go and make your plans accordingly and with utmost diligence.' The old king's birthday arrived, and the two oldest daughters brought him presentsthatwere very necessary, but at the same time extremely expensive. However,the youngest daughter brought him nothing more than a little pile ofsalt in a decorated container. When the king saw her present, he becamevery angry, and he drove his daughter out of the castle, forbidding herever again to let herself be seen by him.With deep sorrow the rejected daughter went out into the unknown world, comfortedonly by her faith in her own good sense.
After walking a good while she came to an inn.There she found a female innkeeper who thoroughly understood cooking. She entered anapprenticeship with her and soon exceeded even the innkeeper in the art of cooking.News spread far and wide of the excellent cook in this inn, and everyone who camethis way and who still had a few kreuzers left in his pocket stopped to be served a roast orsomething even more elegant.The king heard of the cook's reputation, and he hired her as court cook. Now it cameto pass that the oldest princess was getting married, and the famous cook was assigned thepreparation of the wedding feast, with no expenses to be spared.Thus on the wedding day one elegant dish after the other was served until the tablealmostcracked. Everything was excellently prepared, and everyone praised thecook. Finally the king's favorite dish arrived. Quickly taking a spoonhe tasted it.
'This has not been salted!' He cried out angrily. 'Havethe cook brought before me!' They quickly ran for the cook, who entered the hall undaunted.' Why did you forget to salt my favorite dish, you careless girl?' Snapped the king at her.The cook answered, 'You drove away your youngest daughter because she thoughtthat salt was so necessary.
Perhaps you can now see that your child was not so wrong.' When the king heard these words he recognized his daughter, begged her forforgiveness, asked her to be seated at his side, and accepted her once again as his dearchild. Then the wedding became doubly joyful.The king lived happily with his children for many years thereafter.Adapted from http://www.pitt.edu. The Blonde and the Lawyer A blonde and a lawyer are seated next to each other on a flight from LA to NY.The lawyer asks if she would like to play a fun game.The blonde, tired, just wants to take a nap, politely declines and rolls over to the window to catch a few winks.The lawyer persists and explains that the game is easy and a lot of fun.He explains, 'I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me$5.00, and vise versa.'
Again, she declines and tries to get some sleep. The lawyer, nowagitated, says, 'Okay, if you don't know the answer you pay me $5.00,and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $500.00.' This catches the blonde's attention and, figuring there will be no end to this tormentunless she plays, agrees to the game. The lawyer asks the first question. 'What's the distancefrom the earth to the moon?' The blonde doesn't say a word, reaches into her purse, pullsout a $5.00 bill and hands it to the lawyer. 'Okay' says the lawyer, 'your turn.'
She asks the lawyer, 'What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with fourlegs?' The lawyer, puzzled, takes out his laptop computer and searches all his references,no answer. He taps into the air phone with his modem and searches the net and the libraryofcongress, no answer.
Frustrated, he sends e-mails to all his friendsand coworkers, to no avail. After an hour, he wakes the blonde, andhands her $500.00.The blonde says, 'Thank you', and turns back to get some more sleep.Thelawyer, who is more than a little miffed, wakes the blonde and asks,'Well, what's the answer?'
