Enzymatic treatments may change grape pomace's phenolic composition, producing monomers and aglycones. The aims of this study were to evaluate if tannase-biotransformed grape pomace extracts have improved intestinal anti-inflammatory activity using an in vitro colon model and to analyze significant differences between white grape pomace, and mixed grape pomace varieties, due to the absence of a pomace fermentation process during white wine production. No differences were observed in the cytotoxicity caused by different extracts. All extracts, before and after biotransformation at 100 and 200 mu g/mL (dry extract w/v) had comparable efficacy in reducing reactive oxygen species production in Caco-2 cells. After treatment and induction of inflammation using an interleukin 1 beta (IL-1 beta) challenge, tannasetreated white grape pomace extract at 200 mu g/mL was the most efficient treatment in down-regulating nuclear factor kappa B activation by 40%, compared to control. On the other hand, tannase-treated mixed grape pomace extract significantly decreased prostaglandin E2 production by 81% and interleukin-8 by 61%, being more effective than white grape pomace extract. Overall, both grape pomace extracts after biotransformation were more potent in the amelioration of IL-1 beta-induced inflammation in Caco-2 cells. White grape pomace extract did not show higher anti-inflammatory activity than mixed grape pomace. In general, the biotransformation improved the anti-inflammatory effect in Caco-2 cells, indicating that the application of a bioprocess in grape residues may contribute to the development of new ingredients and nutraceuticals with anti-inflammatory potential. 收起
