Reviews

“The book, Vitis Products: Composition, Health Benefits and Economic Valorization, highlights the nutraceutical value of juice and wine and brings new perspectives to the sustainable use of the byproducts of grape processing. The raw materials generated from the grape processing, including seeds, skins, and leaves have, in addition to many nutrients, bioactive compounds that can be used in the food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries – and thus provide important income sources as well as contribute to the reduction of processing wastes.” – Luís António Biasi, Full Professor, Federal University of Paraná, Curitiba, Brazil

“This important book presents an overview about the chemical and sensory composition, health beneficial aspects and economic implications of the several Vitis products throughout a considerable number of chapters. This book is focused on recent scientific and technical advances of a wide group of grape derived products and by-products, all of them performed by important international researchers. This book will be quite useful for academic staff, but also for different students, as well as for specialized professionals from the grape and wine sector.” – Jorge M. Ricardo-da-Silva, Full Professor, Instituto Superior de Agronomia, Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal
