Fatty Acids and Triacylglycerols Profiles from Sicilian (Cold Pressed vs. Soxhlet) Grape Seed Oils

Among the Sicilian economic productive sectors, that of wine production has today a considerable value. However, with growth this sector, notable was increase in waste, which to date is not only an damage for companies, but also threat environment. It known waste from properties (e.g., antioxidants) have potential reuse at cosmetic, pharmaceutical and nutritional levels obtain economically sustainable applications. A new goal given by recovery added value compounds agri-food wastes by-products. Grape seed oil promising vegetable fat cold pressing does involve use chemicals, are harmful health. implies cold-pressed oils may contain phytochemicals, as well natural antioxidants, more than refined oils. In context, works aims studying chemical characterization (triglycerides profile composition fatty acids) grape obtained Soxhlet pressed extraction red seeds white seeds. The possibility obtaining high yields triglycerides acids through methods would open up perspectives human animal food context. results work allow opening then reduce these wastes, helping environment costs companies create product environmentally important
