Applications of grapevine wastes-derived products in food and beverage industry.

Type of Wastes Application Effect Ref.
Grape pomace Added into animals’ diets Increasing the nutritional value of meat [75]
Pasta and pastry products as secondary flours Growing functional ingredients in food industry [87]
Grape stems/stalks Disinfectants in cases of leafy fresh vegetables: lettuce and spinach Inhibition of pathogens Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium and Escherichia coli [82]
Substitute for bentonite in wine Removing unstable proteins [81]
Food packaging as foams Increased mechanical properties, high resistance to moisture, biodegradable characteristics [89]
Grapevine canes Food packaging formula (polylactic acid loaded with grapevine cane ex-tract) Prevent food contamination during transport and storage; increases the breaking strength of the packaging films [90]
Grape stems and wine lees Feed additives in broilers’ diets Improvement of meat quality [77]
Vine shoots Preservative of wine Increased quality of oenological parameters and higher values of purity and color intensity [79]
Replacement of SO2 in wine High antimicrobial activity against Brettanomyces bruxellensis and Zygosaccharomyces bailli; increased wine stilbene content [80]
Wine lees Wine industry Reversing wine foam and stabilizing proteins in heat-sensitive wine [78]
Development of fortified cereal bars Improving protein content [83]
Alternative to synthetic additives Enhancement of antioxidant and antimicrobial activity in burgers [84]
Production of high added-value ice cream Superior structure, high antioxidant effect, oxidation inhibition on human erythrocyte membranes [85]
Production of high added-value ice cream Enhanced physical, chemical and sensory properties, protection against Lactobacillus acidophilus during storage [86]
