Article Abstract
The wine industry generates high amounts of waste, posing current environmental and economic sustainability challenges. Grape pomace, mainly composed of seeds, skins, and stalks, contains significant amounts of bioactive compounds and constitutes the main solid residue of this industry. Various strategies are being explored for its valorization, from a circular economy perspective. This review provides an updated overview of the composition of grape pomace from winemaking, highlighting sustainable methodologies for extracting phenolic compounds and their potential health benefits, including antioxidant, antimicrobial, antidiabetic, cardioprotective, antiproliferative, anti-aging, and gut health properties. Furthermore, this review explores the potential applications of this agro-industrial waste and its extractable compounds across the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical sectors.

Grape pomace is a major by-product of winemaking and a rich source of phenolic compounds with antioxidant potential. The Carménère variety, emblematic of Chilean viticulture, remains underutilized despite its high anthocyanin and flavanol content. This study aimed to develop a cost-effective method to recover and stabilize bioactive compounds from Carménère grape pomace.

Given the restrictions on animal growth promoters, alternative plant-based additives-particularly those rich in phenolic compounds, such as agro-industrial by-products-have been explored. These additives help to mitigate heat stress, which negatively affects productivity by impacting intestinal health and antioxidant status. This study evaluated the effects of individual and combined supplementation of ferulic acid (FA) and grape pomace (GP) on antioxidant enzyme activity, as well as intestinal histomorphometry, in finishing pigs under heat stress.

In this study, a green hydrothermal synthesis method was employed to produce and /β-MnO nanostructures using EET-50, an organic extract obtained from a by-product of Carménère wine production. The biomolecules in EET-50 acted as reducing agents due to their electron-donating functional groups, enabling nanostructure formation without the need for additional chemical reductants. Morphological characterization by SEM revealed that a KMnO/EET-50 mass ratio of 3:1 led to the synthesis of nano-octahedra alongside rod-like structures, with shorter reaction times favoring the development of isolated nano-octahedra ranging from 100 nm to 170 nm.
