Sustainable utilization of apple pomace and its emerging potential for development of functional foods

Muhammad Asif et al. Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2024 Mar.

Abstract

Apple pomace, a byproduct of apple processing industry, possesses nutritional components which are of great interests for health aspects. Apple pomace is a good source of dietary fiber, minerals, carbohydrates, phenolic, and antioxidant compounds. These bioactive compounds can be extracted by different extraction techniques which have been comprehensively described in this review article. Furthermore, the incorporation of apple pomace as functional ingredients in different food products like bakery items, extrusion-based snacks, meat, dairy, and confectionary products to improve the commercial value and health benefits has been discussed briefly. This review article can be a helpful tool for industrialists, innovative researchers, and waste management authorities to manage the apple waste in an appropriate and sustainable way.

Keywords: Apple pomace; Bioactive compounds; Food processing wastes; Sustainable food products; Value addition.
