  • What is grapefruit seed extract (GSE)?
  • Among numerous natural compounds, grapefruit seed extract (GSE) is widely known for its extremely effective antimicrobial activity. The direct use of GSE in food is the most common method of application. Other GSE applications exist using it with coating materials and incorporating it into edible films.
  • Can grape seed oil be used in non-food industries?
  • Food and non-food industries are becoming novel targets of oil obtained from grape seeds given its various properties. This review focuses on the advantages of grape seed oil intake in our diet regarding its chemical composition in industries not related to wine production and the economic and environmental impact of oil production.
  • Can grape seed oil be used as a food additive?
  • Considering their antioxidant and antimicrobial extracts activities, phenolic-rich grape seed extracts may also be used in the food industry as natural additives to prevent microbial growth and lipid oxidation, thereby increasing product quality, safety, and shelf life [80, 81]. 3. Grape Seed Oil: A Novel Functional Food
  • What is grape seed oil?
  • Besides grapes, seeds, and extracts, grape seed oil is a winemaking by-product of interest regarding its bioactivity in terms of disease prevention or treatment.
  • How is grape seed oil extracted?
  • Grape seed oil has been extracted for many years using organic solvents, usually hexane (Soxhlet method), or pressing mechanical techniques. Solvent extraction is the more expensive method as it requires a purification final step due to the toxicity of the hexane and because it removes pigments and waxes, generating a dark and viscous product.
  • Is grape seed oil a natural nutraceutical?
  • Both the lipophilic and hydrophilic chemicals present in the oil of V. vinifera L. make this wine by-product a source of natural nutraceuticals. Food and non-food industries are becoming novel targets of oil obtained from grape seeds given its various properties.
