Dried Apple Pomace

Apple pomace is obtained after pressing apples and the process is carried out in accordance with the European feed safety standard GMP+.

In order to protect the pomace from spoilage, it is dried in accordance with GMP+ requirements. The dried product has about 9 – 12% humidity. Dried apple pomace has a moderate content of total protein of approx. 6-8%, a level of crude fiber of 18-20% and ether extract of approx. 2.7%. Compared to wheat bran, this feed material has a slightly higher nutritional value in terms of the content of the above-mentioned basic nutrients. The content of limited amino acids, including methionine, lysine and threonine, is lower than the level of these amino acids in beet pulp. However, when considering the chemical composition of apple pomace, noteworthy is the high content of nitrogen-free extractive compounds in the form of sugars, pectins and organic acids, flavonoids and vitamins compared to other ingredients.
