Abstract: Described herein is a system, methods, processes and nutrient-rich products-by-process, which are generated by the conversion of winery derivatives into nutrient-rich products in an ecological manner. Integration of this system into a winery assists the winery to manage its previously-considered waste nutrient-rich products in an ecological manner, which can also optionally provide them with a novel revenue stream. The system, methods, and processes are used to convert winemaking derivatives into bioactive nutrient-rich products comprising antioxidants and other bioactive molecules that reside within the marc and lees. These nutrient-rich products can be used as natural flavour, texture and color enhancers, in addition to nutritional ingredients to fortify processed foods and consumer recipes. They can also be used as health supplements and in the cosmetic industry.

Abstract: The system comprises one or more transportable bioreactors configured with the ability to conduct aerobic fermentation of fruit biomass. This system integrates three functionalities: transportation regulations, fermentation requirements and food safety/quality control requirements. The transportation design features of the system render the bioreactors transportable to a fruit processing facility, wherein they can be filled with fruit biomass. The transportable bioreactor and processes take into account the requirements of the bioreactor functionalities of the system, given the particular deployment specifications of the system tailored for a certain environment and fruit biomass. Moreover, the design of this system conforms to the minimal requirements for the food safety and quality regulations of the jurisdictions in which the ultimate products will be directly and/or indirectly sold (e.g., as a foodstuff, health supplement, and/or a food ingredient).
