Analysis of the characteristics of the residues of the wine production chain finalized to their industrial and energy recovery

Renewable energy from thermophilic anaerobic digestion of winery residue: Preliminary evidence from batch and continuous lab-scale trials

“…Increasing the temperature up to 55 C offers benefits including an improved solubility of the organic compounds and pathogen depletion [33] and enhanced biological and chemical reaction rates [34,35]. However, the application of high temperatures also has some disadvantages, including a greater presence of free ammonia, which plays an inhibiting role for the microorganisms, and a change in the pK a of the VFAs.…”

Grape marc as a source of carbohydrates for bioethanol: Chemical composition, pre-treatment and saccharification

“…In recent years, grape marc has been proposed as a raw material for bioenergy production (Toscano et al, 2013) and has been used to generate butanol and biogas (Cáceres et al, 2012;Law and Gutierrez, 2013). Grape marc may also be used to produce biofuel in which production at the winery site and the evolution of local biofuel processing plants will obviate costs associated with transport of the biomass.…”

“…[1] The beverages play a key role as a supplement in the human diet and also found to lower the mortality rate in people suffering from coronary heart diseases. [2] Grapes are one of the largely cultivated fruit crops from which huge proportions are used for wine production every year (International Organization of Vine and Wine, 2012, Toscano et al, 2013). [3] For the production of wine, the European species of grapes Vitis vinifera has been widely used across the world.…”

[4] They contain several compounds which harbor numerous traits such as antibacterial, and anticancerous activity, an especially phenolic compound like resveratrol in grapes has proven to show effective antimicrobial activity.…”
