This means that grape pomace still exhibits high levels of bioactive compounds (60-70%) with strong antioxidant, antibacterial, and cytotoxic activities as well as favorable pharmacological properties [Bartolomé et al., 2004; Peixoto et al., 2018]. These compounds are known to contribute to human health and are particularly associated with reduced incidence of cardiovascular diseases as atherosclerosis and hypertension, neurodegeneration, and similar medical conditions [Auger et al., 2004; De Sales et al., 2018; Rodriguez-Rodriguez et al., 2012]. Grape skins pomace proved to be a good source of anthocyanins, hydroxycinnamic acids, fl avanols and fl avonols, whereas fl avanols are the most abundant seed polyphenols [Kammerer et al., 2004; Ky et al., 2014]. As a result of the increased concern over the sustainability of agricultural practices, efforts have been made to enable the use of grape pomaces bioactive extracts in various segments of food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry, resulting in applications such as natural antioxidant, source of natural pigments, additive in wine production, functional ingredient, etc. [Beres et al., 2017; Ky & Teissedre, 2015]. Thus, it is necessary to have effi cient extraction methods to achieve high recoveries of phenolic compounds that allow quality control of obtained extracts through their analysis and characterization. Microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) has been investigated and proposed as better than conventional extraction
