Towards Sustainability in the Wine Industry by Valorization of Waste Products: Bioactive Extracts Pamela Zorro Mateus Patricia Joyce

This volume in our Sustainability: Contributions through Science and Technology series reviews the use of alternative green technologies (pressurized liquid and super-critical fluid extractions) for grape biomass valorization. The waste contaminates water and soil and, in large quantities, it has been related to bad odors, a high content of organic matter in water, and greenhouse gas emissions over the entire wine- making industry. Environmental sustainability and circular economy are discussed in relation to agro- industrial waste in the wine- making industry.

Here, the authors illustrate how green extraction of commercially valuable substances can be scaled up at an indus-trial level.Features:Reports on waste valorization in the winemaking industry and converting the waste into more useful products including oils, antioxidants and other valuable
