Grape Pomace Polyphenols as a Source of Compounds for Management of Oxidative Stress and Inflammation-A Possible Alternative for Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs? Molecules (Basel, Switzerland) Flavonoids, stilbenes, lignans, and phenolic acids, classes of polyphenols found in grape pomace (GP), were investigated as an important alternative source for active substances that could be used in the management of oxidative stress and inflammation. The benefic antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions of GP are presented in the literature, but they are derived from a large variety of experimental and settings. In these works, the decrease in reactive oxygen species, malondialdehyde, and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances levels and the increase in glutathione levels show the antioxidant effects. The inhibition of nuclear factor kappa B and prostaglandin E2 inflammatory pathways and the decrease of some inflammatory markers such as interleukin-8 (IL-8) demonstrate the anti-inflammatory actions of GP polyphenols. The studies further confirmed the antioxidant (increase in catalase, superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase levels and a stimulation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase -eNOS gene expression) and anti-inflammatory (inhibition of IL-1𝛼, IL-1β, IL-6, interferon-𝛾, TNF-α and C-reactive protein release) activities. Grape pomace as a whole extract, but also different individual polyphenols that are contained in GP can modulate the endogenous pathway responsible in reducing oxidative stress and chronic inflammation. The present review analyzed the effects of GP in oxidative stress and inflammation, suggesting that it could become a valuable therapeutic candidate capable to reduce the aforementioned pathological processes. Grape pomace extract could become an adjuvant treatment in the attempt to reduce the side effects of the classical anti-inflammatory medication like non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). 10.3390/molecules27206826
Grape Pomace as a Promising Antimicrobial Alternative in Feed: A Critical Review. Hassan Yousef I,Kosir Veronika,Yin Xianhua,Ross Kelly,Diarra Moussa S Journal of agricultural and food chemistry Antimicrobial resistance is among the most urgent global challenges facing sustainable animal production systems. The use of antibiotics as growth promoters and for infectious disease prevention in intensive animal-farming practices has translated into the selection and spread of antimicrobial resistance genes in an unprecedented fashion. Several multi-resistant bacterial strains have been isolated from food-producing animals, thus constituting an alarming food-safety issue. Many industrial byproducts with potential antimicrobial properties are currently being investigated to identify empirical and affordable solutions/alternatives that can potentially be used in feed for animals. Grape pomace is among such byproducts that gained the attention as a result of its low cost, abundance, and, most importantly, its bioactive and antibacterial properties. This review discusses the recently reported studies with regard to exploring the use of grape pomace (and its extracts) in animal production to control pathogens, along with the promotion of beneficial bacterial species in the gut to ultimately alleviate antibacterial resistance. The review further summarizes realistic expectations connected with grape pomace usage and lists the still-to-be-addressed concerns about its application in animal agriculture. 10.1021/acs.jafc.9b02861
Current trends and possibilities for exploitation of Grape pomace as a potential source for value addition. Chowdhary Pankaj,Gupta Abhishek,Gnansounou Edgard,Pandey Ashok,Chaturvedi Preeti Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987) Grape pomace (GP) is a low-value by-product that contains a significant amount of high value-added products. The huge amount of non-edible residues of GP wastes (seeds, skins, leaves and, stems) produced by wine industries causes' environmental pollution, management issues as well as economic loss. Studies over the past 15-20 years revealed that GP could serve as a potential source for valuable bioactive compounds like antioxidants, bioactive, nutraceuticals, single-cell protein, and volatile organic compounds with an increasing scientific interest in their beneficial effects on human and animal health. However, the selection of appropriate techniques for the extraction of these compounds without compromising the stability of the extracted products is still a challenging task for the researcher. Based on the current scenario, the review mainly summarizes the novel applications of winery wastes in many sectors such as agriculture, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, livestock fields, and also the bio-energy recovery system. We also summarize the existing information/knowledge on several green technologies for the recovery of value-added by-products. For the promotion of many emerging technologies, the entrepreneur should be aware of the opportunities/techniques for the development of high-quality value-added products. Thus, this review presents systematic information on value-added by-products that are used for societal benefits concerning the potential for human health and a sustainable environment. 10.1016/j.envpol.2021.116796
Grape pomace reduces the severity of non-alcoholic hepatic steatosis and the development of steatohepatitis by improving insulin sensitivity and reducing ectopic fat deposition in mice. Daniel Tehila,Ben-Shachar Michaella,Drori Elyashiv,Hamad Sharleen,Permyakova Anna,Ben-Cnaan Elad,Tam Joseph,Kerem Zohar,Rosenzweig Tovit The Journal of nutritional biochemistry While non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) represents the common cause of chronic liver disease, specific therapies are currently unavailable. The wine industry produces millions of tons of residue (pomace), which contains high levels of bioactive phytochemicals. The aim of this study was to clarify the potential benefits of grape pomace for the treatment of NAFLD at different levels of severity, and to clarify the mechanism of action. C57Bl/6 mice were given high fat diet (HFD) or western diet (WD) as models of obesity and hepatic steatosis or steatohepatitis, respectively, with or without pomace supplementation (50-250 mg/day). Pomace inhibited food intake, and reduced serum leptin and body weight gain. Ectopic fat deposition was reduced, while white adipose tissue mass was preserved. In addition, pomace improved glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity, prevented the development of adipose tissue inflammation, and reduced hepatic steatosis. Higher expression of genes involved in fatty acids transport and oxidation was observed in adipose tissue, while lipogenic genes were attenuated in the liver of pomace-treated mice. In WD-fed mice, pomace reduced the severity of hepatic steatosis and inflammation and improved blood lipid profile, but was ineffective in reversing hepatic damage of advanced NASH. In conclusion, pomace improved insulin sensitivity and reduced ectopic fat deposition, leading to a healthier metabolic profile. Pomace may hold the potential as a supplement with beneficial health outcomes for the prevention and treatment of hepatic steatosis and other obesity-related pathologies. 10.1016/j.jnutbio.2021.108867

Use of Grape Pomace Phenolics to Counteract Endogenous and Exogenous Formation of Advanced Glycation End-Products. Sri Harsha Pedapati S C,Lavelli Vera Nutrients The increase in consumption of "ultra-processed" foods has raised attention because of the possible adverse effects deriving from the Maillard reaction leading to the formation of toxic advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) during food processing. Additionally, the increasing trend and consumption of sugar-added foods and sweetened beverages is related to the endogenous formation of the same toxic compounds. However, ultra-processing in the context of food technology can bring challenges as well as a wealth of opportunities. Indeed, re-processing of grape pomace, a by-product of winemaking, can yield phenolic-rich fractions that efficiently counteract the effects of AGEs. In this review, the process of endogenous and exogenous AGE formation is illustrated. Then, the ability of grape phenolics to act as inhibitors of AGE formation is presented, including the efficacy ranking of various individual compounds measured in vitro and the outcome of in vivo double-blinded randomized crossover trials designed to prove the efficacy of grape phenolics as inhibitors of protein carbonylation. Finally, a survey of model functional foods added with grape phenolics, either to lower the dietary load of AGEs or to deliver antiglycation agents in vivo is listed in order to highlight the opportunity to develop safe and tailor-made "anti-AGEs" food applications. 10.3390/nu11081917
Towards integral utilization of grape pomace from winemaking process: A review. Beres Carolina,Costa Gislaine N S,Cabezudo Ignacio,da Silva-James Nina K,Teles Aline S C,Cruz Ana P G,Mellinger-Silva Caroline,Tonon Renata V,Cabral Lourdes M C,Freitas Suely P Waste management (New York, N.Y.) Grape is the main fruit crop in several countries. Although many grape-based food products can be found in the market, studies have shown that around 75% of the world grape production is destined for the wine industry. Grape pomace is an abundant by-product from the wine industry, which consists of the remaining skin, seeds and stalks and represents around 25% of total grape weight used in the winemaking process. In countries such as Italy, France and Spain, where wine production is more relevant, the annual grape pomace generation can reach nearly 1200 tonnes per year. In order to reach a sustainable winemaking process there is a need of a waste reduction policy. Several studies explore this subject using grape pomace as a source of healthy and technological compounds that could be applied in animal feed, pharmaceutical, cosmetic or food industry to improve stability and nutritional characteristics, and in cosmetic industry, where grape seeds oil is widely used. This review aims to approach the recent winemaking scenario and the benefits achieved when a waste management policy is implemented, as well as to compare available extractive technologies and a wide alternative of uses for grape pomace. 10.1016/j.wasman.2017.07.017
Phenolic composition of grape pomace and its metabolism. Critical reviews in food science and nutrition Grape pomace is the most important residual after wine making, and it is considered to be a very abundant source for the extraction of a wide range of polyphenols. These polyphenols exhibit a variety of bioactivities, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer. They are also beneficial in alleviating metabolic syndrome and regulating intestinal flora, etc. These health effects are most likely contributed by polyphenol metabolite, which are formed by the grape pomace phenolics after a complex metabolic process in vivo. Therefore, understanding the phenolic composition of grape pomace and its metabolism is the basis for an in-depth study of the biological activity of grape pomace polyphenols. In this paper, we first summarize the composition of phenolics in grape pomace, then review the recent studies on the metabolism of grape pomace phenolics, including changes in phenolics in the gastrointestinal tract, their pharmacokinetics in the systemic circulation, the tissue distribution of phenolic metabolites, and the beneficial effects of metabolites on intestinal health, and finally summarize the effects of human health status and dietary fiber on the metabolism of grape polyphenols. It is expected to provide help for the in-depth research on the metabolism and biological activity of grape pomace polyphenol extracts, and to provide theoretical support for the development and utilization of grape pomace. 10.1080/10408398.2022.2146048
Quality evaluation of Chinese red wine based on cloud model. Xu Qingwei,Xu Kaili Journal of food biochemistry Determining the quality of red wine is based on many qualitative and quantitative factors. Compared with other evaluation methods, the cloud model has an uncertainty transformation between a qualitative concept and its corresponding quantitative value, and the uncertainty transformation included fuzziness and randomness, which is suitable for solving the complexity of red wine evaluation. This study introduced the cloud model into quality evaluation of red wine for the first time, and a novel algorithm of comprehensive cloud model was proposed based on an addition algorithm of two cloud models. Furthermore, to validate the cloud model adopted in our red wine evaluation system, we used the gray relational analysis and fuzzy evaluation method. The evaluation result for the red wine sample was Good, and the result confirmed that our cloud model can be used to evaluate the quality of red wine. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: In 2013, China surpassed France to become the largest country of red wine consumption in the world. Red wine is made by a natural fermentation process. There are several components that make up red wine, but the most abundant is grape juice. Ethyl alcohol is the second most abundant element and it is made naturally by the fermentation of the sugar in grape. There are more than 1,000 remaining components in the recipe for red wine, where 300 are comparatively important. Although the proportion of these components is not high, they are important factors in determining the quality of red wine. Sensory evaluation is the most common method used to determine the quality of red wine. This work has identified a cloud model that can be used, based on sensory evaluation, to determine the quality of red wine. 10.1111/jfbc.12787
Identification of Chinese red wine origins based on Raman spectroscopy and deep learning. Spectrochimica acta. Part A, Molecular and biomolecular spectroscopy In this study, we combined Raman spectroscopy with deep learning for the first time to establish an accurate, simple, and fast method to identify the origin of red wines. We collected Raman spectra from 200 red wine samples of the Cabernet Sauvignon variety from four different origins with a portable Raman spectrometer. The red wine samples, made in 2021, were from the same producer in China. Differences were found by analyzing the Raman spectra of red wine samples. These differences are mainly caused by ethanol, carboxylic acids, and polyphenols. After further analysis, for different origins, the different performances of these substances on the Raman spectrum are related to the climate and geographical conditions of the origin. The Raman spectra were analyzed by principal component analysis (PCA). The data with PCA dimensionality reduction were imported into an artificial neural network (ANN), multifeature fusion convolutional neural network (MCNN), GoogLeNet, and residual neural network (ResNet) to establish red wine origin identification models. The classification results of the model prove that climate, geography, and other conditions can provide support for the classification of red wine origin. The experiments showed that all four models performed well, among which MCNN performed the best with 93.2% classification accuracy, and the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.987. This study provides a new means to classify the origin of red wine and opens up new ideas for identifying origins in the food field. 10.1016/j.saa.2023.122355
