Apple pomace (mixed Red Delicious and Golden Delicious varieties) obtained from the industrial production of puree was both vacuum-dried at 40 °C and air-dried at 60 °C, ground and stored at water activity (aw) in the range 0.11–0.75, for 8 months, at 30 °C. The aims were to investigate the effect of drying and long-term storage on phytochemical contents. Air-drying at 60 °C was better than vacuum-drying at 40 °C in terms of anthocyanin and flavanol retention; no adverse effect of drying was observed for flavonols, dihydrochalcones and hydroxycinnamic acids. The maximum stability occurred for all apple phytochemicals at the lowest aw. At aw 0.75 degradation of all phytochemicals occurred with the following 30 stability ranking: phloridzin > chlorogenic acid > quercetin 3-O-galactoside > epicatechin > procyanidin B2 and cyanidin 3-O-galactoside. A promising feature of pomace is its exclusive high content of phloridzin, which showed relatively high stability during long-term storage.

Abstract
Apple pomace (mixed Red Delicious and Golden Delicious varieties) obtained from the industrial production of puree was both vacuum-dried at 40 °C and air-dried at 60 °C, ground and stored at water activity (aw) in the range 0.11–0.75, for 8 months, at 30 °C. The aims were to investigate the effect of drying and long-term storage on phytochemical contents. Air-drying at 60 °C was better than vacuum-drying at 40 °C in terms of anthocyanin and flavanol retention; no adverse effect of drying was observed for flavonols, dihydrochalcones and hydroxycinnamic acids. The maximum stability occurred for all apple phytochemicals at the lowest aw. At aw 0.75 degradation of all phytochemicals occurred with the following 30 stability ranking: phloridzin > chlorogenic acid > quercetin 3-O-galactoside > epicatechin > procyanidin B2 and cyanidin 3-O-galactoside. A promising feature of pomace is its exclusive high content of phloridzin, which showed relatively high stability during long-term storage.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
