<b>Apple pomace from eleven cultivars: an approach to identify sources of bioactive compounds</b> - DOI: 10.4025/actasciagron.v32i1.3176
Resumo
The dried apple pomace composition of eleven cultivars was assessed in this work. The drying process of apple pomace spread in a thin layer in the trays of an oven with circulating heated air at 60ºC showed a 3rd order polynomial tendency and after 10 hours the product, with an equilibrium moisture of 10%, showed an homogeneous appearance according to colorimetric parameters. There are significant differences in the content of lipids, proteins, total titratable acids, total reducing sugars, dietetic fibers total phenol compounds and also in an oxidant activity. Total dietary fibers include pectin, 35%, and insoluble fibers (65%). The content of total phenolic compound, determined with the Folin Ciocalteu reagent and expressed as catechin, goes from 2.29 to 7.15 g kg-1 of dried apple pomace and the antioxidant capacity, expressed as total equivalent (TEAC), from 17.41 to 77.48 mMol g-1. A correlation of 82% between both these quality factors was found. The principal component analysis established the efficiency of total phenol compound, antioxidative capacity, total fiber and total reducing sugars to identify the best cultivar set as source of bioactive compound. Cv. M-2/00 shows high content of total phenol compound and antioxidant capacity, cv. Catarina, of pectin while cv. MRC 11/95, M-12/00, M-8/00, M6/00 e M-11/00, of malic acid and of total reducing sugars. The other cultivars show high content of fibers, ashes and lipids.Downloads
