The red grape pulp of the wine provides rich nutrition

Pomace-the pulp left over from crushing red grapes in the early stages of winemaking-is considered a by-product waste

The research team discovered that two beneficial molecular compounds found in plants, stilbene, can affect the microbiota of the human intestine and stomach in a healthy way

Elad Tako, associate professor of food science at the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, said: “This by-product of winemaking has important potential

Tako said that this study gave people an understanding of how stilbene works at the human intestinal level

In addition, in this study, the Tako research team screened red grape varieties commonly found in the Finger Lakes Region of New York, where there is a strong wine production economy

Tako said: "I have been studying polyphenols (phytonutrient compounds).

By using a chicken (Gallus Gallus) as an in vivo model, scientists were able to determine the nutritional benefits of stilbene, resveratrol, and pterostilbene

The embryonic period (fertilized egg) of a chicken lasts for 21 days.

In the experiment, the stilbene extract was injected into the amniotic fluid of the egg on the 17th day of embryonic development.

In this way, Tako said, the research team learned how resveratrol and pterostilbene affect the gastrointestinal tract and other physiological systems and tissues
