What is grape seed extract?
Grape seed extract is a phenolic compound found in the seeds of white grapes (Vitis Vinifera). Oligomeric proanthocyanidins (also known by the acronym OPC), are one of the main compounds found in grape seed extract, and they are one of the most powerful natural antioxidants in existence.Proanthocyanidins are polyphenols belonging to the flavonoids family. Due to their effectiveness in combating the molecules responsible for damaging human metabolism (the so-called free radicals), these phenolic compounds are increasingly in demand in different industries as they offer a significant added value for their consumers, whether in human or animal nutrition.These polyphenols, obtained through the aqueous extraction of selected white grape seeds, make grape seed extract a natural ingredient which is currently highly valued for its health-promoting properties.
What are the applications of grape seed extract?
The efficacy of polyphenols in grape seed extract has been demonstrated in several scientific studies, having a high antioxidant power. For this reason, the main application of grape seed extract is in the food and nutraceutical industry as an ingredient in the production of functional foods and beverages and food supplements.Vinumar offers grape seed extract in powder format (VINUOPC) packed in vacuum sealed aluminium bags of 25 Kg.
