Grapes are a fruit with origins dating back to ancient times. Their first recorded use, as mentioned in the Bible, was winemaking. The abundance of bioactive compounds grapes makes them highly valuable. So far, many varieties cultivated have been developed for table grapes, wine and raisin production. In addition these uses, since contain variety nutrients, including resveratrol, flavonoids (such flavonols, anthocyanins, catechins), melatonin, vitamins, acids, tannins, other antioxidants, grape extracts widely studied medical applications. This paper reviews effects on cancer, cardiovascular disease, brain neurological disorders, eye diseases, skin kidney health, diabetes, gastric along applications drug delivery, wound dressing, tissue engineering. addition, limitations grapes-derived polymers future research perspectives discussed. These benefits highlight that value extends far beyond their traditional use

In the 21st century, sustainable agriculture is expected to become a major contributor food security and improved nutrition. Amine–epoxide-based materials have great potential for use in due their tunable physicochemical features, which are dependent on concentration composition of monomers. this work, catalyst-free green synthesis, using only water as solvent, was performed obtain nanocarrier (TGel) capable transporting nutrients after seed priming. The synthesis based opening epoxy ring by nucleophile attack, an amine-terminated polyether. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) dynamic light scattering (DLS) techniques showed spherical morphology particles, ranged size from 80 nm (unloaded TGel) 360 (zinc-loaded TGel), respectively. Theoretical bonding analysis revealed that Zn cation species ZnSO4 source interact with polymer via σ-bonds, whereas EDTA forms hydrogen bonds polymer, thereby enhancing noncovalent interactions. Micro X-ray fluorescence (μ-XRF) energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDXRF) provided details distributions compartments shoots cucumber plants priming plant growth, Zn-loaded TGels did not affect physiology plants, indicated photosynthetic efficacy, chlorophyll, anthocyanin indices.
