Integrated Enology-Utilization of winery wastes for the production of high added value products

Abstract

Grape growing and wine making generate a number of wastes and by-products. These materials include vine prunings, grape stalks, grape pomace and grape seeds, yeast lees, tartrate, carbon dioxide and wastewater. Only a very small portion of these materials is used world wide. This article presents a number of value adding technologies for the valorization of those products
