This study was conducted to explore the possibility of utilization of waste residues (pomace) obtained during carrot juice extraction for the preparation of a value added product viz. carrot based condensed milk product (gazrella, an Indian sweetmeat). The carrot pomace was treated osmotically in two ways: Firstly, dipping in 65°Brix sucrose syrup, secondly, by adding 35% sucrose (dry powder) t...

The effect of some natural wastes (orange pomace, orange peel, lemon pomace, lemon peel, apple pomace, pear peel, banana peel, melon peel and hazelnut shell) on the production of xylanase from Trichoderma harzianum 1073 D3 has been studied and maximum activity has been observed on melon peel (26.5 U/mg of protein) followed by apple pomace and hazelnut shell. Also, molasses could be used as an a...

This study characterised pineapple pomace (PP) and evaluated its application in extrusion to enhance fibre content of the final product. The pomace had low fat (0.61%) and high dietary fibre (45.22%), showing its potential for fibre enrichment of nutritionally poor products, as some extruded snacks. Results also showed low microbiological counts, water activity, and pH indicating good microbiol...

This work evaluated the effect of sun-dried tomato waste (SDTP) on growth, carcasses, digestibility nutrients, digestive enzymes, blood chemistry and intestinal microbiota 250 one-week-old growing Japanese quail. The birds were randomly distributed into 5 equal groups. Group 1 was fed basal diet (BD) (control), Groups 2, 3, 4 BD containing 6, 9 12% SDTP respectively. significantly improved body...

Cancer cells demand high ATP provisions to support proliferation, and targeting of energy metabolism is a good strategy to increase their sensitivity to treatments. In Brazil, wine manufacture is expanding, increasing the amount of pomace that is produced. We determined the phenolic composition and antioxidant properties of a dark skin Grape Pomace Extract and its effects on metabolism and redo...

This work studies the techno-functional properties of spray dried water-soluble extracts from orange pomace, obtained different green extraction technologies. Orange a by-product juice production industry, was used for soluble fibre extraction. Starting four procedures were assayed: hot water, extrusion + jet cooker and water. After treatments, supernatant with whey protein isolate to obtain en...
