Abstract Apple pomace (AP) is an abundant waste causing environmental problems. Therefore, the aim of study was to evaluate impact AP on soil and plant growth under optimum limited water availability. Two laboratory experiments were conducted on: (i) hydrophysical properties, respiration, N transformations in aggregates (ii) wheat faba bean with addition The respiration rate increased rapidly a...

Conventional extraction (CE) and microwave-assisted (MAE) were compared in terms of efficiency quality pectin two separate processes aimed to extract from Malus domestica ‘F?lticeni’ apple pomace. A similar yield a shorter time was observed for the procedure as CE, while galacturonic acid content degree esterification both methods. Apple extracted this plant source by methods had high content, ...

Obesity occurs when a person's calorie intake exceeds the amount of energy burns, which may lead to pathologic growth of adipocytes and the accumulation of fat in the tissues. In this study, the effect and mechanism of pear pomace extracts on 3T3-L1 adipocyte differentiation and apoptosis of mature adipocytes were investigated. The effects of pear pomace extract on cell viability and the anti-a...

This work aimed to investigate the possibility of using apple and blackcurrant pomace powders produce biopolymer packaging films as one actions minimize waste in a circular economy approach. The fragmented fruit 10 µm did not form continuous film structure, thus pectin at concentration 5% was used film-forming agent combination with (10%) glycerol plasticizer (50% pectin, 2.5 g). control those ...

Abstract Following the circular economy concept, all areas of science, including electronics, require individual approach. The green electronics approach implies processing natural based materials for development electronic components even single use, so that waste does not exist. This paper describes production thermistors from 3 different types edible materials, their testing in laboratory co...

The effect of fermented apple pomace (FAP) on animal health, antioxidant activity (AA), hematic biometry (HBm) and the development of ruminal epithelium were investigated in a study with 24 finishing lambs (BW = 25.4 ± 3.3 Kg). Lambs were grouped by sex (12 male and 12 female) and fed (n = 6 per group of treatment) a basal fattening diet (Control diet, T1) or the basal diet supplemented to incl...

Cellulose fiber based molded pulp packaging is a sustainable solution to the persistent plastic crisis. This study utilized apple pomace (AP) as renewable source of fibers and cardboard (CF) reinforcement material create biocomposites (boards) at AP:CF ratio 2:1 in 3% solid pulp. For improving water resistance board, two approaches were employed: 1) incorporating rhubarb (RP), chitosan, glycero...
