Winemaking generates large amounts of wine pomace, also called grape pomace. This by-product has attracted the attention of food scientists and the food industry, due to its high content in nutrients and bioactive compounds. This review mainly focuses on the different published approaches to the use of wine pomace and its functions in the food industry. Traditionally, wine pomace has been used to obtain wine alcohol, food colorings, and grape seed oil. More recently, research has focused in the production of other value-added products, such as extracts of bioactive compounds, mainly phenols, recovery of tartaric acid, and the making of flours. The most common functions associated with wine pomace products are their use as antioxidants, followed by their use as fortifying, coloring, and antimicrobial agents. These products have mainly been applied to the preparation of meat and fish products and to, a lesser extent, cereal products.

The winemaking process generates huge amounts of waste every year. Fermented grape pomace, the major by-waste product, holds significant value due to its chemical composition and technological properties. In this study a multi-omics approach was employed for the detailed molecular characterization of fermented grape pomace from Montepulciano grape, a widely used Italian red grape variety.

The polyphenol extraction and evolution during a traditional 14-day fermentation of the Aglianico red grape, a variety widely cultivated across Southern Italy, was for the first time investigated, with the purpose of optimizing the phenolic profile in finished wines. Anthocyanins, BSA-reactive tannins, iron-reactive phenols, and vanillin-reactive flavans (VRFs) were analyzed in the free-run must, pressed pomace liquid, and in pomace extracts at different maceration times. Experimental evidence suggested that, instead of the typical 14-day maceration of Aglianico grapes, it is recommendable to choose an 11-day maceration in order to prevent the over-extraction of polyphenols that may detrimentally affect the sensory characteristics of wines.

Targeting DNA damage response (DDR) pathways represents one of the principal approaches in cancer therapy. However, defects in DDR mechanisms, exhibited by various tumors, can also promote tumor progression and resistance to therapy, negatively impacting patient survival. Therefore, identifying new molecules from natural extracts could provide a powerful source of novel compounds for cancer treatment strategies.

Wine lees, the second most significant by-product of winemaking after grape pomace, have received relatively little attention regarding their potential for valorization. Despite their rich content in bioactive components such as β-glucans, industrial utilization faces challenges, particularly due to variability in their composition. This inconsistency impacts the reliability and standardization of final products, limiting broader adoption in industrial applications.

Grape pomace (GP), a by-product of the wine supply chain process, contains bioactive molecules with known healthy properties. This study examines the impact of different extraction techniques on three GPs of Aglianico cultivar [Cantine del Notaio, Barile, and Torrecuso]. Five eco-friendly extractive techniques [maceration (MAC), digestion (DIG), accelerated solvent extraction (ASE), microwaves (MW), and ultrasound (US)] were used with 50 % ethanol/water as solvent.
