Strain‐Specific Biotransformation of Grape Marc by Lactic Acid Bacteria: Genomic Validation and Gut Microbiota Modulation

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Grape marc (GM) is a polyphenol‐rich winery byproduct that remains underutilized due to its complex fiber matrix, which limits the bioaccessibility of bound phenolics. While lactic acid fermentation (LAF) can enhance the release of these compounds, the strain‐specific metabolic fate of GM phenolics during digestion and colonic fermentation ...
