The use of apple pomace in the manufacture of yogurt

Abstract

Apple pomace is an excellent source of phytochemicals and contains significant amounts of insoluble sugars, including cellulose 127.9 g/kg DW, hemicellulose 7.2 to 43.6 g/kg DW, lignin 15.3 to 23.5 g/kg DW and can therefore be used as a functional ingredient in the manufacture of dairy products with high rheological characteristics. In the present study apple pomace powder (0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6% and 0.8% w/w) was added to skim milk.
