Grape Pomace: A Review of Its Bioactive Phenolic Compounds, Health Benefits, and Applications

mycolabadmin

Grape pomace is the leftover material from making wine, typically discarded as waste. This review shows that grape pomace is actually packed with beneficial plant compounds called phenolics that have powerful health effects. These compounds can fight bacteria, reduce inflammation, help control blood sugar, and protect heart health, making grape pomace waste valuable for creating new health products in food, cosmetics, and medicine.

Nutrients and Nutraceuticals from Vitis vinifera L. Pomace: Biological Activities, Valorization, and Potential Applications

mycolabadmin

Wine production generates millions of tons of grape pomace (the leftover skins, seeds, and stems) annually, which has traditionally been discarded as waste. This review shows that grape pomace is actually rich in valuable nutrients and compounds like polyphenols and fiber that provide significant health benefits including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and disease-fighting properties. By using grape pomace in functional foods, supplements, and cosmetics, the wine industry can reduce waste while creating sustainable products that promote human health.

Energy Metabolism Enhance Perylenequinone Biosynthesis in Shiraia sp. Slf14 through Promoting Mitochondrial ROS Accumulation

mycolabadmin

Scientists studied two similar fungi to understand how one produces more of a beneficial compound called perylenequinones (PQs), which have medical uses against infections and cancer. They discovered that the high-producing strain uses energy more efficiently, which causes tiny structures in the cells called mitochondria to produce reactive molecules (ROS). These reactive molecules trigger the fungus to make more PQs as a protective response. By controlling these processes, researchers can potentially improve the production of this valuable medicine.
