Article Abstract
Grape seeds are among the main constituents of grape pomace, ranging between 20% and 30% of the wet matrix; however, their oligosaccharide composition has not been studied. This paper describes the purification and the identification of low molecular weight oligosaccharides contained in an EtOH/water extract of grape seeds. A sequential two-step purification by size exclusion chromatography was carried out to fractionate compounds according to molecular weights. Chemical characterization of the combined fractions was performed by Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry analyses. The separation process gave two fractions abundant in sucrose and glucose. A third fraction containing trisaccharides was acetylated allowing the purification of the main trisaccharide. The structure elucidation of the acetylated product made it possible to identify gentianose, a predominant carbohydrate reserve found in the storage roots of perennial Gentiana lutea. Grape seeds are wine industry by-products and the obtained results suggest the importance of their recovery.

With the development of people's diets and working patterns, obesity is an increasingly serious health threat faced globally. Grape pomace is an important by-product generated during the wine production process which is rich in polyphenols. Polyphenols show promising potential in anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and metabolic regulatory applications.

This study developed functional soybean protein isolate (SPI)-based films incorporated with plant-derived oleosomes (mustard, grape, and chili seeds) and systematically evaluated their physicochemical properties, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities, and food preservation efficacy. Films were fabricated by integrating oleosomes into SPI matrices, followed by solvent casting. Physicochemical characterization revealed that films with grape seed oleosomes provided the most significant improvements compared to control SPI films: reduced transparency (56 %), water vapor permeability (11 %), and lipid peroxidation (43 % lower peroxide value); increased hydrophobicity (contact angle +20 %) and flexibility (elongation at break +16 %).

Pedoenvironmental factors play a key role in winegrape quality. In five vineyards, elemental profiles (B, Ca, Cu, Fe, K, Li, Mg, Mn, Na, Ni, P, S, Si, Sr, Zn) of grape seeds, pulp, skin, and wine-like-juice (WLJ) (except S), and soil element content (NHOAc extraction) were analyzed by Inductively-Coupled-Plasma Optical-Emission-Spectrometry. ANOVA showed homogeneity of grape and soil composition across vineyards.

This study investigated the effects of pre-fermentation additions of skins, seeds, and stems on the color and sensory profiles of Marselan wines. Monomeric anthocyanins and condensed tannins were analyzed using HPLC. The results indicated that the 50 % skin addition (SK3) significantly increased total phenolics, anthocyanins, tannins, and flavan-3-ols by 30.
