Wine By-Products Valorisation in Greece
For sustainable and profitable valorisation of wine sector by-products in Greece
or
Detail description
Grape pomace, wine lees, and pruning residues from Greek wine production—totaling ~447,000 tonnes annually—offer high-value opportunities in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Valorisation includes using pomace as cheese fortifiers (e.g., Manouri PDO), lees for yeast extract substitutes, and pruning residues for cellulose nanocrystals. Polyphenol-rich extracts serve as natural antioxidants, colourants, and bioactive ingredients, supporting sustainable packaging and cost-efficient fermentation processes.
