Grapevine roots, as a side-stream of a vineyard, are a sustainable resource for the recovery of oligomeric stilbenoids, such as the bioactive r-viniferin. The aim of this study is to evaluate an in silico-supported method, based on the Conductor-like Screening Model for Real Solvents (COSMO-RS), for selection of environmentally friendly natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES) with regard to the extraction of grapevine roots. The most suitable NADES system for ultrasonic-assisted extraction of r-viniferin was choline chloride/1,2-propanediol.

This study aimed to evaluate an in silico method, based on the Conductor-like Screening Model for Real Solvents (COSMO-RS) to isolate stilbenoids from a grapevine cane extract by high-performance countercurrent chromatography (HPCCC). For the following extraction of resveratrol and ε-viniferin from grapevine canes, natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES) were used as an environmentally friendly alternative to the traditionally used organic solvents.
