Abstract
ine industry, with its long-standing tradition and global significance, generates substantial amounts of waste in the form of grape pomace –a by-product consisting of seeds, skins, and stems. This residual material is rich in bioactive compounds such as dietary fibers, polyphenols, minerals, and essential fatty acids, all of which exhibit strong antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. Opportunities are emerging for the reuse of this waste as part of the transition from the traditional linear “take-make-dispose” model toward sustainable solutions grounded in the principles of the circular economy.In light of the increasing demand for sustainability, current research efforts are focused on the valorization of grape pomace, including its application in the meat industry.The aim of this study is to promote sustainability in agro-industrial processes by exploring the functional properties of grape pomace and its utilization in meat processing. This paper examines the potential benefits of incorporating grape pomace in meat in-dustry, emphasizing its role in food safety,innovation and development of products enriched with natural alternatives to synthetic additives, while simultaneously enhancing their nutritional profile.
