Agrochemical characterisation of the solid by-products and residues from the winery and distillery industry

Pilot-scale Production of Functionalized mcl-PHA from Grape Pomace Supplemented with Fatty Acids

“…In addition, one should note that other valuable products such as phenolic compounds (e.g. pigments, antioxidants) or grape seed oil could be extracted as well from the pomace to exploit their full potential [24][25] . Finally, a simple cost estimation can be made to evaluate the savings potential of this strategy.…”

Grape Winery Waste as Feedstock for Bioconversions: Applying the Biorefinery Concept

“…Wine making is a timed, multistage process producing a large amount of organic and inorganic waste. During cultivation and harvesting, waste has been calculated at about 5 tonnes per hectare of land per year [5,6] while the winery wastewater varies according to the production size from 650,000 m 3 (Greece) to over 18,000,000 m 3 (Spain) per year [7].…”

Chemical composition and bioactive compounds of grape pomace (Vitis vinifera L.), Benitaka variety, grown in the semiarid region of Northeast Brazil

“…In February 2013, data indicated a 2% increase in production although a 0.4% decrease in the total area planted was observed (Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística, 2013). Along with this intensive production, large amounts of agro-industrial residues are generated (Bustamante et al, 2008;Tangolar et al, 2009;Cetin et al, 2011;Deng et al, 2011;Lachman et al, 2013). According to a study conducted in 2011 by the Brazilian Ministry of Environment (Brasil, 2011), the production of grape waste in Brazil was 290.838.411 tons.…”
