Method of preparing a muscadine pomace extract

A method of producing a muscadine extract, comprising:

• combining (a) a bronze muscadine pomace-only solvent extract with (b) a purple muscadine pomace-only solvent extract and a whole purple muscadine grape solvent extract;
• filtering (a) and (b) either separately prior to combining (a) and (b) or together after combining (a) and (b);
• and
• fermenting (a) and (b) before or after the filtering to remove extracted sugars;
• wherein combining (a) and (b) comprises combining bronze muscadine pomace-only and purple muscadine pomace-only and solvent extracting the bronze pomace-only and purple pomace-only simultaneously, then adding whole purple muscadine grape extract.
