Apple pomace drying

Apple is used for the production of single strength juice, apple juice concentrate, jam and fermented products like cider, wine, vermouth and eaten raw. After processing into juice or juice concentrate, the left over material (by- product) is pomace which is thrown away causing environmental pollution. Since, apple pomace is a part of the fruit; it has potential for conversion into edible products. Hence, the current problem was selected to conduct studies on drying characteristics of apple pomace so as to generate data for design of drying systems.
