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.

PRECISE AND SUSTAINABLE OENOLOGY THROUGH THE OPTIMIZED USE OF AD- JUVANTS: A BENTONITE-APPLIED MODEL OF STUDY TO EXPLOIT

As wine resilience is the result of different variables, including the wine pH and the concentration of wine components, a detailed knowledge of the relationships between the adjuvant to attain stability and the oenological medium is fundamental for process optimization and to increase wine durability till the time of consumption.

Un “GIS” agronomico per l’area a DOC dei Colli Euganei

L’area a “Denominazione di Origine Controllata Colli Euganei”, riconosciuta con Dpr 13 agosto 1969, è situata a sud-ovest della Provincia di Padova (fig. 1) ed è costituita da un sis­tema collinare di nuclei vulcanici evolutosi morfologicamente.

Mannoproteins from oenological by-products as tartaric stabilization and color agents in white and red wines

Climate change is drastically modifying grape composition and wine quality. As consequence, must and wines are becoming unbalanced, with high sugar concentration, increased alcohol content, lower acidity, excessive astringency, color instability and also a rise in the incidence of tartaric instability is being showed.
