Herein, decoctions and infusions of flowers from the two most appreciated chestnut cultivars (<jats:italic>longal<\/jats:italic>and<jats:italic>judia<\/jats:italic>) in Tr\u00e1s-os-Montes, Portugal, were prepared and characterized with regard to their content in free sugars, organic acids, and phenolic compounds, such as flavonoids and hydrolyzable tannins, and their antioxidant activity. Overall, the decoction of the cultivar<jats:italic>judia<\/jats:italic>was the sample with both the highest quantity of flavonoids and antioxidant activity. The phenolic compound with the highest abundance in all samples was trigalloyl-HHDP-glucoside, followed by pentagalloyl glucoside. The sample with the highest quantity of total phenolic compounds was<jats:italic>judia<\/jats:italic>infusion, closely followed by<jats:italic>longal<\/jats:italic>decoction, which also gave the highest quantities of ellagitannins. Regarding sugars and organic acids, the profiles were more similar. These results corroborate ancestral claims of the health benefits of infusions and decoctions of chestnut flowers.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2014\/232956","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,4,14]],"date-time":"2014-04-14T17:02:22Z","timestamp":1397494942000},"page":"1-7","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":44,"title":["<i>Castanea sativa<\/i>Mill.
