Extraction and Evaluation of Resveratrol from Grape Pomace Obtained from By-Product of Wineries: A Sustainable and Cost-Effective Source for Anti-Aging Formulations

This study aims to evaluate the resveratrol content of grape pomace extract, obtained from winery waste, using a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method. Grape pomace is a by-product of wine production and contains a high concentration of polyphenolic compounds, including resveratrol, which has demonstrated numerous health benefits and is a very potent antioxidant. The extraction of resveratrol from grape pomace provides not only a cost-effective way but also an environmentally friendly way to obtain this natural polyphenol. In this study, grape pomace was extracted using methanol and water, and the extracted resveratrol was analysed by HPLC. The results obtained showed that grape pomace extract has a significant amount of resveratrol, highlighting its potential as a source for anti-aging cosmetics. The HPLC method proved to be a highly reliable tool for the analysis of resveratrol content in grape pomace extract, which could facilitate the commercial production of resveratrol from grape pomace extract.
