RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Resveratrol, an extensively recognized phytochemical that belongs to the stilbene family, is abundant in grape peel which is discarded as a by-product during grape juice processing. RESULTS: In this study, we established that pre-heating grape peel above 75 °C significantly improved the extractability of resveratrol and its glucoside piceid. In particular, thermal heating of grape peel at 95 °C for 10 min, followed by treatment with a mixture of exo-1,3-ß-glucanase and pectinases at 50 °C for 60 min, dramatically increased the conversion of piceid into resveratrol and the overall extractability of this phytochemical by 50%. Furthermore, thermal pre-treatment promoted a substantial increase in the total phenol, flavonoid, and anthocyanin concentrations in the grape peel extract. Ultimately, resveratrol-enriched grape peel extract significantly augmented the antioxidant response in vitro, possibly by attenuating the accumulation of intracellular reactive oxygen species via the Nrf2 signaling pathway. CONCLUSION: The method developed in this study for preparing grape peel extract introduces a potential low-cost green processing for the industrial fortification of food products with resveratrol and other health-beneficial antioxidants. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry.

Based on the antioxidative effect of resveratrol (RES) in mitigating reactive oxygen species (ROS) production through the induction of nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor-2 (Nrf2)/heme oxigenase-1 (HO-1) signaling pathway, we investigated whether the protective activity of RES against ROS-mediated cytotoxicity is mediated by intracellular carbon monoxide (CO), a product of HO-1 activity, in ultraviolet B (UVB)-irradiated human keratinocyte HaCaT cells. The cells were exposed to UVB radiation following treatment with RES and/or CO-releasing molecule-2 (CORM-2). RES and/or CORM-2 upregulated HO-1 protein expression, accompanied by a gradual reduction of UVB-induced intracellular ROS levels. CORM-2 reduced intracellular ROS in the presence of tin protoporphyrin IX, an HO-1 inhibitor, indicating that the cytoprotection observed was mediated by intracellular CO and not by HO-1 itself. Moreover, CORM-2 decreased RES-stimulated mitochondrial quantity and respiration and increased the cytosolic protein expressions of radical-scavenging superoxide dismutases, SOD1 and SOD2. Taken together, our observations suggest that RES and intracellular CO act independently, at least partly, in attenuating cellular oxidative stress by promoting antioxidant enzyme expressions and inhibiting mitochondrial respiration in UVB-exposed keratinocytes.
RESUMO
Prevention emerges as a powerful approach in minimizing the risk of deleterious lifestyle diseases because therapies do not necessarily guarantee a permanent cure. Accordingly, consumers' growing preference for natural and health-promoting dietary options that are rich in antioxidants has become widespread. Grape (Vitis vinifera) is an antioxidant-rich fruit extensively grown for fresh or processed consumption. The long-term consumption of its polyphenolic antioxidants may promote multiple health benefits. However, grape pomace (GP), consisting of peel, seed, stem, and pulp, is discarded during grape processing, including juice extraction and winemaking, despite its substantial antioxidant content. Polyphenolic extraction techniques have been widely explored to date, but the consolidation of reported physiological impacts of GP-derived polyphenolic constituents is limited. Thus, this review highlights current studies of the potential applications of GP extract in disease prevention and treatment, emphasizing the major influence of polyphenolic compositions and origins of different grape varieties.
RESUMO
Considering the anti-photoaging effect of antioxidant compounds, we investigated the protective capacity of grape peel extract (GPE) and resveratrol on ultraviolet (UV)-induced skin wrinkle formation. Total phenolic, total anthocyanin, and total flavonoid content in GPE prepared from peel of Campbell Early variety were 23.96 ± 0.09, 3.27 ± 0.40, and 1.24 ± 0.09 mg/g dry weight, respectively. Additionally, trans-resveratrol and piceid content of the resulting GPE were 117.14 ± 19.97 and 85.23 ± 8.89 µg/g dry weight, respectively. Oral administration of either 2 g GPE or 2 mg resveratrol per kg body weight in mice attenuated UVB-induced epidermal thickening (the thickness was reduced by about 63% and 55% with GPE and resveratrol consumption prior to exposure to UVB, respectively, compared to only UVB-treated condition) and had marginally protective effect on wrinkle formation of skin exposed to UVB. As introduction of either GPE or resveratrol induced Nrf2-dependent antioxidant enzymes including heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in liver and skin as well as inhibited metalloproteinases, it is highly probable that the extract or resveratrol mitigated UVB-induced photoaging through activation of Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: This study proved that resveratrol and the extract of grape peel, a common by-product of grape juice processing, provide effective protection from UV-induced skin wrinkle formation. Therefore, grape peel extract, which contains an appreciable amount of bioactive compound resveratrol, can be utilized as functional food ingredient for the manufacture of inner beauty products.
