Characterization of Polyphenolic Phytochemicals in Red Grape Pomace

Characterisation of Mediterranean grape pomace seed and skin extracts: polyphenolic content and antioxidant activity.

Grape pomace seeds and skins from different Mediterranean varieties (Grenache [GRE], Syrah [SYR], Carignan [CAR], Mourvèdre [MOU] and Alicante [ALI]) were extracted using water and water/ethanol 70% in order to develop edible extracts (an aqueous extract [EAQ] and a 70% hydro-alcoholic extract [EA70]) for potential use in nutraceutical or cosmetic formulations. In this study, global content (to...

The Effect of Red Grape Pomace Powder Replacement on Physical Characteristics and Acrylamide Content of Biscuit

Background and Objectives: Biscuit is the most popularly consumed bakery item, and due to higher consumption among children, increase of its nutritional value and safety is a necessity. Acrylamide is a potential carcinogen that is formed in carbohydrate-rich food products like biscuits at temperatures above 120oC. Among the various parameters, which affect acrylamide formation, the inhibitory e...

Recovery of aromatic aglycones from grape pomace

Green extraction of antioxidants from different varieties of red grape pomace.

The extraction yield, phenolic content, anthocyanin content and antioxidant activity of extracts from different varieties of red grapes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Syrah, Tempranillo and Tintilla, using pressurized green solvents have been analyzed. Two techniques were studied and compared: supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) with CO2 + 20% ethanol and pressurized liquid extract...

Procyanidin content of grape seed and pomace, and total anthocyanin content of grape pomace as affected by extrusion processing.

UNLABELLED Grape juice processing by-products, grape seed and pomace are a rich source of procyanidins, compounds that may afford protection against chronic disease. This study was undertaken to identify optimal extrusion conditions to enhance the contents of monomers and dimers at the expense of large molecular weight procyanidin oligomers and polymers in grape seed and pomace. Extrusion varia...
