Grape pomace as a natural source of antimicrobial agents for food preservation.
Synthesis in Frontiers in nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Grape pomace, a by-product of winemaking, has emerged as a promising source of natural antimicrobial compounds for food applications. In response to increasing concerns regarding foodborne illnesses and consumer demand for clean-label products, its valorization represents a sustainable approach to enhance food safety and shelf life. This review combines a bibliometric analysis with a critical examination of the scientific literature. The bibliometric analysis identifies leading authors, institutions, countries, and research trends related to the use of grape pomace in food preservation. The literature review summarizes extraction techniques and antimicrobial evaluations. Grape pomace is rich in phenolic compounds with demonstrated antibacterial and antifungal activity. The antimicrobial effectiveness depends on factors such as grape variety, extraction method, polyphenol profile, and target microorganisms. Its incorporation into food productsincluding meat, dairy, and beverageshas shown promising results. Additionally, bioactive extracts have been applied in edible films, coatings, and active packaging to inhibit microbial growth and prolong shelf life. The evidence supports the potential of grape pomace as an effective antimicrobial food additive. However, challenges remain, including the need for standardized extraction protocols, deeper understanding of antimicrobial mechanisms, and comprehensive safety and efficacy evaluations in real food systems. Addressing these gaps is essential to facilitate the development of innovative food preservation strategies based on grape pomace bioactives.
