Due to its valuable organic compounds, grape pomace represents a resource in the creation of value-added food products. In this study, we investigated hydroalcoholic extracts obtained by ultrasonication from two white and red Romanian varieties. The phytochemical parameters, i.e., polyphenolics, flavonoids, anthocyanins, condensed tannins content, antioxidant activity, were determined UV-Vis spectrometry. statistical analysis revealed that Tămâioasă Românească Negru de Drăgășani, respectively, Fetească Albă Neagră are similar each other. Significant differences among pomaces different varieties noticed terms their phenolic contents. (Fetească Drăgășani) richest total phenolics respectively. activity showed Drăgășani had higher value due high amounts polyphenols, followed Neagră, Albă, Românească. Higher levels bioactive polyphenolic substances, catechin, myricetin, resveratrol, vanillic acid, found using high-performance liquid chromatography. These results emphasize potential variety be further exploited for nutritional functional applications.

Abstract The circular economy (CE) has gained global attention for its potential to promote sustainable production and consumption through continuous growth the efficient use of resources. Despite several reports highlighting benefits, there is still a lack concrete proven studies examining importance institutional pressures transition towards CE in food supply chains. This study aims address this gap by conducting Systematic Literature Review (SLR) identify drivers barriers institutionalisation chains, propose practical managerial implications achieving pressure. We reviewed 25 conducted descriptive analysis papers per year journal, followed categorical thematic analysis. results indicate that normative were most frequently identified among different pressures, mimetic coercive pressures. Therefore, promoting chains may require implementation laws, policies, strict governance reduce risks. paper contributes existing literature provides valuable insights researchers practitioners interested

Effectively implementing innovations in agri-food supply chains (AFSCs) is contingent upon stakeholders’ preferences. Using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), objective of this research was to ascertain degree willingness among farmers, consumers, and various stakeholders (including processing companies, restaurants, retailers) tomato chain Catalonia (Spain) shorten promote local procurement. Based on a set social, economic, environmental criteria encompassing sustainability AFSCs, results showed that economic factors, particularly profitability affordability, were key driving factors decisions stakeholders. However, considerable importance placed strategic attributes, including production, sustainability, product quality, seemed present chance advocate for sustainable alternatives, such as short food (SFSCs). The AHP methodology facilitates differentiation with respect decision-making serves valuable instrument evaluating reception within AFSC categorizing who exhibit greatest interest them. In order improve systems, our findings may be incorporated into plans developed by policymakers.

Grapes occupy an important position in the human diet, providing both macronutrients and micronutrients indispensable for growth development. contain enzymatic non-enzymatic (nutritional) antioxidants, such as ascorbic acid bioflavones. High amounts of these valuable compounds are removed through processing, when skin seeds separated from pulp. During vinification process, a large amount grape pomace is generated that constitutes source value-added products phenolic compounds, mainly flavonoids, acids, stilbenes. Valorization wine industry by-products like suitable strategy recovering bioactive (mainly polyphenols) reducing environmental impact this industrial waste. The circular bioeconomy refers to maintaining value biological resources economy long possible, minimizing waste production. Recovery utilization process favors closing loop ensure abovementioned circularity. experimental screening performed was designed assess several indices polyphenolic composition byproducts (pomace, steams, seed mixture), total content, flavonoid their antioxidant activity, two white Romanian varieties (i.e., Fetească Albă Tămâioasă Românească).
