Prevention emerges as a powerful approach inminimizing the risk of deleterious lifestyle diseasesbecause therapies do not necessarily guarantee a permanentcure. Accordingly, consumers’ growing preference fornatural and health-promoting dietary options that are richin antioxidants has become widespread. Grape (Vitis vinifera)is an antioxidant-rich fruit extensively grown forfresh or processed consumption. The long-term consumptionof its polyphenolic antioxidants may promote multiplehealth benefits. However, grape pomace (GP), consisting ofpeel, seed, stem, and pulp, is discarded during grape processing,including juice extraction and winemaking,despite its substantial antioxidant content. Polyphenolicextraction techniques have been widely explored to date,but the consolidation of reported physiological impacts ofGP-derived polyphenolic constituents is limited. Thus, thisreview highlights current studies of the potential applicationsof GP extract in disease prevention and treatment,emphasizing the major influence of polyphenolic compositionsand origins of different grape varieties. |
