BIOGRAPE™ PREMIUM GRAPE POMACE SOURCING
Valle del Maipo, located in the heart of central Chile, stands as a globally renowned viticultural region celebrated for producing some of the world’s finest Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, exceptionally rich in polyphenols, flavonoids, and antioxidants. This prestigious wine-producing area thrives due to a unique convergence of geoclimatic factors, particularly its proximity to the Andes Mountains, which act as a natural barrier, shaping the valley’s distinct microclimate through intricate atmospheric dynamics that regulate humidity, moderate temperature fluctuations, and create a stable, temperate environment ideal for vine development. The region’s alluvial soils, enriched over millennia by glacial deposits, provide a (…)
BIOGRAPE™ PREMIUM GRAPE POMACE SOURCING
(…) nutrient-dense foundation that enhances vine growth and imparts remarkable mineral complexity, elevating grape quality. Additionally, the valley’s pronounced diurnal temperature variation, with sun-drenched days stimulating vigorous photosynthetic activity and cool nights preserving the integrity of organic compounds, fosters a biosynthetic environment that significantly boosts polyphenol biosynthesis, yielding grapes with an exceptionally high concentration of bioactives such as resveratrol, catechins, anthocyanins, and tannins. These compounds not only enhance the depth, complexity, and aging potential of the region’s world-class wines but also persist in high concentrations within the seeds and skins of grape pomace left over from the vinification process. Following wine fermentation, separation, and pressing, grape pomace retains the majority of the secondary metabolites originally present in the grapes prior to processing, while only a smaller fraction remains in the wine. This highlights the significant yet largely untapped commercial and scientific potential of grape pomace as biomaterials rich in therapeutic and nutritional compounds. Recognizing this vast potential, POWDER HOUSE has strategically positioned itself within this premier viticultural hub, harnessing the region’s undeniably exceptional bioactive richness to develop its disruptive ultrafine flagship ingredient, (…)
(…) biogrape™, derived exclusively through the upcycling of Valle del Maipo’s Cabernet Sauvignon grape pomace. Engineered with an ultrafine particle size (~P90 = 20 µm) to enhance bioavailability, biogrape™ ensures rapid absorption and efficient physiological utilization, advancing new standards for high-performance bioactive ingredients. POWDER HOUSE’s agro-waste upcycling model inherently adheres to residue-free, chemical-free, and manipulation-free sustainability standards as a natural consequence of its process configuration, ensuring that biogrape™ preserves a substantial fraction of the original phytochemical profile found in grape pomace following wine separation, particularly polyphenols and dietary fiber. Sourced exclusively from Alto Jahuel, a distinguished subregion precisely located at 33.64° S latitude and 70.59° W longitude within the heart of Valle del Maipo, biogrape™ benefits from an origin that consistently ensures unmatched bioactive potency, concentrating anti-inflammatory, cardioprotective, and anti-aging compounds. Designed as a next-generation ultrafine functional ingredient, biogrape™ is meticulously developed through a precisely controlled process to maximize physiological efficacy across nutraceutical, food, cosmetic, and nutricosmetic applications while simultaneously embodying a profound connection to Chile’s viticultural heritage. Each (…)
(…) formulation is infused with the essence of a centuries-old winemaking tradition carefully preserved and refined over time. This terroir-driven provenance elevates biogrape™ beyond a premium functional ingredient, transforming it into a cultural emblem of sustainability, technological innovation, and the seamless fusion of nature’s most potent bioactives with advanced scientific research, striving to redefine natural, high-efficacy functional nutrition.
