Abstract

Apple fruit juice industries produces large quantity of waste biomass annually. This biomass, named pomace, includes fruit peel, seeds, stem and pulp. Apple pomace is a rich source of bioactive ingredients such as micronutrients, carbohydrates, dietary fibres, phenolics and other phytochemicals. These by-products make apple pomace a credible source for development of wide range of functional food and feed products. Here we review the conversion of apple pomace into value-added products, with focus on apple pomace composition, fermentative and non-fermentative utilization, fertilizers, mushroom substratum, biofungicide, metal adsorbent, ethanol, and bioactive compounds in the management of diabetes.
