Apple pomace which is the main waste of fruit juice industry was utilized to extract pectins in an environmentally friendly way, which was then compared with chemically-extracted pectins. The water-based extraction with combined physical and enzymatic treatments produced pectins with 693.2 mg g(-1) galacturonic acid and 4.6% yield, which were less than those of chemically-extracted pectins. Che...

Comparison of the production of pectin methylesterase (PME) by Aspergillus niger from apple pomace in solid-state (SSF) and submerged fermentation (SmF) was made for higher PME production. pH value of 4.0, incubation temperature of 25 °C and incubation period of 96 h were found optimum in both SSF and SmF, while optimum dilution levels were 1:3 and 1:6, respectively. Ammonium sulphate in SSF an...

The objective of the study was to examine influence moisture content on mechanical properties solid biomass, which is important for storage and handling. Mechanical involving powder flowability were determined with a Jenike shear tester. materials tested powdered biomass: sunflower husks, apple pomace, dried distillers grains solubles (DDGS), meat bone meal. In static operations in biomass gene...

UNLABELLED Grape juice processing by-products, grape seed and pomace are a rich source of procyanidins, compounds that may afford protection against chronic disease. This study was undertaken to identify optimal extrusion conditions to enhance the contents of monomers and dimers at the expense of large molecular weight procyanidin oligomers and polymers in grape seed and pomace. Extrusion varia...

Fruit pomace remaining after juice extraction is still a source of bioactive compounds. Especially rich in these compounds is the pomace from blackcurrant fruit and from fruits of little-known horticultural plants, like: rowan, rosehip and elderberry. The addition of fruit pomace to bakery and confectionery products, especially to those made of white flour, may significantly enrich their compos...

Postprandial triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRLs) are recognized as atherogenic particles whose lipid composition and function can be modified by the composition of dietary oils. This study was designed to test the hypothesis that minor components of pomace olive oil (POMACE) can not only change the composition of postprandial TRL but also affect the clearance of triglyceride (TG) molecular sp...

The costly disposal of the semisolid residual pomace generated in the two phase extraction used in modern olive mills is causing serious problems to the small oil producers of rural southeastern Spain. Composting may be a viable alternative since complementary residues are usually available in these areas to prepare an adequate starting mixture. In this work, four different combinations of resi...

The aim of this study was to develop a concept, within the framework sustainable agriculture, for utilizing apple pomace as valuable raw material in food production. proposal includes description production technology four products together with characteristics their chemical composition, wholesome compounds, and physical properties. These new were developed on basis wheat bran. In technology, ...

BACKGROUND Olive pomace, as the main by-product of the olive oil industry, is recently recycled as fermentation substrate for enzyme production. OBJECTIVES Actinobacteria isolates were separated from an Algerian soil under olive pomace cultivation and were evaluated for their lignocellulolytic enzymes production. MATERIALS AND METHODS Isolates of Actinobacteria were separated from soils aro...
