被撤回的出版物: Utility of apple pomace as a substrate for various products: A review (Retracted article. See vol. 91, pg. 700, 2013)

In large scale apple juice industry, about 75% of apple is utilized for juice and the remaining 25% is the by-product, i.e. apple pomace. In India, more than 500 apple processing industries produces 1.3 million tonnes of apple pomace per annum which involves an annual disposal expenditure of $10 million. Generally, apple pomace is thrown away which causes environmental pollution and only approximately 10,000 tonnes of apple pomace is being utilized. As pomace is a part of the fruit, it has potential for being transformed into various edible and industrial products. It is a rich source (amount per 100 g) of carbohydrate (11.8 g), pectin (16.95 g), crude fibre (2.3 g) and minerals (0.3 g) and as such is a good source of nutrients. This paper reviews the work done to utilize this precious resource which can prove useful for setting up of small scale industries. (C) 2012 The Institution of Chemical Engineers.
