Summary:In order to obtain high quality grapes, necessary for the wine industry, table grapes or other by-products, different management techniques are applied to the vine crops. The pruning is a common practice that generates massive amounts of waste, especially shoots and canes that may affect the environment and also the human health. On the other hand, various scientific studies confirm the presence of phytochemicals (antioxidants) in grapevine waste being used as a natural added-value in food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries due to their benefits. The nanoparticle phytosynthesis is a safe, non-toxic and environment friendly approach in which the phytochemicals from vine waste extracts act as reducing agents.
