Abstract
Grape processing by-products, such as pomace, seeds, and skins, are increasingly recognized for their potential in sustainable development practices. These by-products constitute a significant portion of agricultural waste and are rich in valuable phenolic compounds. In 2021, the grape processing industry contributed to the creation of substantial organic waste, which, if not managed sustainably, could result in environmental degradation. By leveraging advanced extraction technologies and sustainable management practices, the industry can transform this waste into valuable products, promoting environmental sustainability and providing socioeconomic benefits. This study underscores the importance of innovative, circular economy approaches in grape processing to address waste management and resource recovery.
期刊介绍:
First published in 1995, the journal Environmental Research, Engineering and Management (EREM) is an international multidisciplinary journal designed to serve as a roadmap for understanding complex issues and debates of sustainable development. EREM publishes peer-reviewed scientific papers which cover research in the fields of environmental science, engineering (pollution prevention, resource efficiency), management, energy (renewables), agricultural and biological sciences, and social sciences. EREM’s topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: environmental research, ecological monitoring, and climate change; environmental pollution – impact assessment, mitigation, and prevention; environmental engineering, sustainable production, and eco innovations; environmental management, strategy, standards, social responsibility; environmental economics, policy, and law; sustainable consumption and education.
