Abstract
Grape pomace, the solid residue produced during fruit extraction, is a significant by-product of the wine industry. The industry generates vast amounts of grape pomace each year, causing environmental concerns. Despite its immense potential as a source of bioactive compounds, grape pomace is mostly disposed of, with only a tiny portion used as animal feed. Numerous studies highlight the capability of microorganisms, especially filamentous fungi, that can convert grape pomace into various value-added products. In particular, the Phanerochaete, Bjerkandera, and Pleurotus genera are renowned for their capacity to release lignocellulolytic enzymes that allow the conversion of sugars into valuable compounds with extensive applications. This review article introduces innovative microbial valorisation techniques to extract beneficial compounds for use in the nutraceutical, cosmetic, and therapeutic industries. Furthermore, the potential implementation of a circular economy model and essential strategies to mitigate the environmental implications of grape pomace disposal are also discussed.
