A Breif Overview on Vitis vinifera

Abstract

Vitis vinifera L. are a well-known grape species from western Asia and southern Europe that belong to the Vitis genus of the Vitaceae family. The grapevine's seeds and leaves are employed in herbal therapy, while the fruits are used as a food supplement. Wine production, which takes 50-75 percent of grapes, is the most significant application of grapes, followed by fresh fruits, dried fruits, and juice. Several varieties and species of vitis vinifera available in India, pharmacological and therapeutic research, phytochemistry of the Vitis vinifera (grape) and its active components are presented in this overview.

Effect of alcoholic phenol and nanocapsules extract from grape seed (Vitis vinifera) on egg hatching and adult death of southern cowpea beetles

“…These botanical insecticides, consisting of ground dried botanical materials, crude plant extracts, or chemicals isolated from plants and used for insect pest management in general, botanical secondary metabolites, such as alkaloids, are non-protein amino acids, steroids, phenols, flavonoids, glycosides, glucosinolates, quinones, tannins, and terpenoids are responsible for protective actions against insects [4،5] .Grapes Vitis vinifera is of great importance as the roots, stems, leaves, fruits, seeds and peel contain various types of phytochemicals, phenolic compounds, flavonoids and proanthocyanidins. Grapes contain nutrients and elements such as minerals, proteins, carbohydrates, fats, fiber, vitamin C and sugar in addition to biologically active substances [6]. The amount of soluble phenolic compounds found in grapes is not evenly distributed, as 70% of the total soluble phenolic compounds are found in the seeds, 28-35% are in the peel and the remaining about 10% are found in the pulp.…”

Effects of free and encapsulated Siah‐e‐Samarghandi grape seed extract on the physicochemical, textural, microbial, and sensorial properties of UF‐Feta cheese

“…Because of its abundant source, higher‐ranking health‐beneficial function, and antioxidant ability, grape seed extract has obtained great popularity and attention in recent years (Zhao et al, 2020). Many studies have recently focused on different properties of the bioactive compounds of grapes including antioxidant, antidiabetic, anticancer, antibacterial, antifungal, anti‐inflammatory, anti‐acne, anti‐aging, antihypertensive, protective effect, anti‐asthma, antiplatelet, anticataract, anti‐obesity, anticholinergic, anti‐sunburn, anti‐hyperpigmentation and wound‐healing (Parihar & Sharma, 2021).…”

Nutraceutical Potential of Grape (Vitis vinifera L.) Seed Oil in Oxidative Stress, Inflammation, Obesity and Metabolic Alterations

“…and is cultivated to produce wine and the fresh consumption of fruit in Europe. This vine of the Vitaceae family has the grape as fruit, which has been cultivated for thousands of years by different civilizations [2].…”
