Health benefits of wine industry by-products

Abstract

The total global production of wine in 2021 was estimated at around 250 million hectoliters. The 30% of the total quantity of vinified grapes corresponds to wine by-products that represent nearly 20 million tons, of which 50% corresponds to the European Union. Wine by-products have been used for different purposes, in agriculture, cosmetics, pharmacy, biorefinery, feed, and the food industry. The main waste streams with food interest are grape pomace (GP) and wine lees. GP is the residue that originated after the pressing of red and white grapes to produce must or wine. It is constituted by the stems, skins, and seeds. GP is a winery by-product that is more and more valorized as a source of healthy bioactive molecules, such as polyphenols and other interesting molecules (pigments, fibers, minerals, etc.). The main polyphenols detected in grape pomace include hydroxycinnamic acids, hydroxybenzoic acids, flavan-3-ols, flavonols, and stilbenes. Phenolic compounds from grapes exert positive benefits on human health; many of these compounds have been shown to have potent antioxidant activities. Significant antioxidant activity has been observed from pomace and seed flour extract of grapes. Grape seed extract may be useful for the prevention of certain metabolic syndromes and cardiovascular disease. Grape and grape products also possess other important properties including anti-radiation, anti-mutagenic, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and other beneficial effects. The abundance of bioactive compounds assures a promising future to produce nutritional foodstuffs. Wine by-products can be valuably used to fortify aromatized waters and infusions, bread, pasta, dairy products, alcohol, sugary beverages, and processed foods. These innovative products that could be included in Mediterranean Diet are of great interest for our health and our planet.

Exploring the impact of different closures on tannin evolutions by using metabolomic approach

Condensed tannins (CTs), polymers of flavan-3-ols, are a class of polyphenolic compounds that play a significant role in the organoleptic qualities of red wines, particularly influencing color, astringency and bitterness. These properties are highly dependent on size and structure of these compounds.

Geochemistry of Vrbničko Polje (Croatia) winegrowing site

A multi-element pedo-geochemical survey was carried out in Vrbničko polje vineyards on the Krk Island, Croatia. This Mediterranean winegrowing site is famous by Žlahtina wine production.

Deficit irrigation and mechanical canopy management affect berry and wine phenolic and aroma composition of Syrah in Central California

Labor shortage is one of the most crucial issues in current viticulture. Mechanized approaches are helpful in reducing production costs and increasing vineyard efficiency but their effect on grapes and wines needs evaluation. This work assess the results of combined mechanical pruning and shoot thinning with deficit irrigation strategies to reduce management costs but not quality of production.

Influence of SO2 and Zinc on the formation of volatile aldehydes during alcoholic fermentation

Laboratório de Análisis del Aroma y Enologia (LAAE). Department of Analytical Chemistry, Faculty of Sciences, Universidad de Zaragoza, 50009, Zaragoza, Spain, During alcoholic fermentation, fusel (or Strecker) aldehydes are intermediates in the amino acid catabolism to form fusel alcohols following the Ehrlich Pathway (1). One of the main enzymes involved in this pathway is Alcohol Dehydrogenase (ADH), whose activity is highly strain dependent and determines the rate of conversion of aldehydes into fusel alcohols (2). This enzyme has a Zn2+ catalytic binding site, which suggests that the must Zn2+ levels will most likely influence the rate of reduction of aldehydes into alcohols. On the other hand, SO2 is commonly used in winemaking for its antiseptic and antioxidant properties.

The importance of soil and geology in tasting terroir; a case history from the Willamette valley, Oregon

Wines differ from each other based on seven different factors: the type of grape; the bedrock geology and resulting soils; the climate; the soil hydrology; physiography of the site; the winemaker and the vineyard management techniques. The first five of these factors make up what the French call terroir, “the taste of the place”.
