Abstract. The use of antioxidants and antibacterials in food industry has become increasingly necessary
to ensure the high quality of food. Grape pomace is the main by-product of winemaking industry that
concentrates bioactive metabolites with more studied antioxidant activity and possible antibacterial activity.
The grape pomace contains fragmented skin, broken cells, pulp remains, stalks and seeds with high amount
of phenolic compounds due to their poor extraction during the winemaking process. Anthocyanins, catechins,
flavonol glycosides, phenolic acids, alcohols and stilbenes have been identified among the compounds
present in grape pomace. In this study, antibacterial activity against different pathogens (Escherichia coli
ATCC 25922, Candida albicans ATCC 90028, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853 and Staphylococcus
aureus ATCC 25923) was evaluated and the relation with polyphenols content and antioxidant activity
of grape pomace from selected grapes from Iaşi vineyard was studied. The grape pomace samples were
obtained after the fermentation process from the 2017 harvest of Sauvignon Blanc, Traminer, Busuioacă de
Bohotin, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Fetească Neagră and Fetească Regală grape varieties. The antioxidant
properties were evaluated using the DPPH method, FRAP assay and Folin Ciocalteu method. The content
of resveratrol was quantified using an HPLC method. Samples with antioxidant activity showed the highest
phenolics content. This study reveals that grape pomace is a potential source of natural antioxidant agents.
The pomace extracts were tested to establish the effects on Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The
analysed samples exhibited insignificant antibacterial activity and the method requires optimization. Grape
marc represents an important source of resveratrol and other bioactive compounds that could be a valuable
source of antioxidants for further utilization in food and pharmaceutical industry.
