Research published in “Molecules” indicates the potential of blackcurrant fruit. In patients who were given blackcurrant seed oil, cholesterol levels dropped after less than a month of therapy. Experts point out that high cholesterol is a clear signal that a lifestyle change is necessary. It is estimated that thanks to this, even 20-25% of patients manage to reduce its level. In most cases, it is […]

The food industry generates huge amounts of waste and by-products, most of which are not used. Some of them may be useful due to their nutritional value and health-promoting properties. An example is seed cake powder – residues after pressing oil from oilseeds. They can be a raw material for various branches of the food industry. Due to the content […]

Fiber is a type of carbohydrate that is not digestible and passes through the gut largely intact, having few or no calories. Dietary fiber has been shown to reduce cholesterol levels and blood pressure and also assists in regulation of blood sugar levels by slowing down absorption of food in the gut. A study conducted by researchers at the University of Leeds suggests […]

MATERIALS AND METHODOLOGY OF WORK Characteristics of the research material The research material was commercial fibre and fruit pomace from chokeberry, blackcurrant and apples in the form of powders obtained from GreenField Sp. z o.o.  Sp. k. (Warsaw). The tested materials were uniformly finely divided in the range of 0-425 μm. Before examining the kinetics and isotherms of water vapor adsorption, the […]

At the beginning of October 2021 cocoa prices declined as a result of excess supply despite the year-on-year increase in grindings for the third quarter of 2021 reported by the main regional cocoa associations. While prices declined on the ICE Futures stock markets, cocoa grindings actually increased substantially in Europe, South-East Asia and North America, as represented by the European Cocoa Association (ECA) finding […]

Food Safety System Certification (FSSC) 22000 is a food safety certification system based on the existing, internationally recognized ISO 22000 standard and supplemented by technical standards such as ISO TS 22002-1 for food production and ISO TS 22002-4 for packaging production. It is also fully consistent with other standards such as ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. The standard is aimed in particular at the food, […]

ABSTRACT Study of sorption properties of selected fruit fibres and pomace Pomace, which are waste product generate a huge problem in fruit and vegetable industry. Numerous studies prove that dried pomace and fibre powder are valuable source of many nutrients. Due to their properties, their popularity is growing in many industries. There were determined water vapour isotherms and kinetics for selected fruit fibres and pomace. […]
