Grape Seeds the Nontraditional Source for Achieving Bio-Nanomaterials Addressing Antibacterial, Anticancer and Antidiabetic Functions

Abstract

Grape seeds extract contains high concentrations of vitamin E, linoleic acid and flavonoids. Recently, standard grape seed extracts are reported for the treatment of a wide range of health problems concerned with free radical damage, including diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. Also, grape seeds extract can be used as a dietary supplement for various conditions, including venous insufficiency (when veins have problems sending blood from legs back to heart), reducing inflammation and promoting wound healing [1]. Furthermore, Grape seed extract has also been shown to protect against bacterial infections, such as Staphylococcus aureus. Some studies, mostly in animals, support these uses [2].
