About Apple pomace

Apple pomace is the moist solid residue left after apples are pressed for juice or cider. It consists chiefly of pressed fruit material, with proportions of peel, pulp, and seeds depending on the pressing process. It is used in food processing and may be dried or milled for further ingredient uses.

Fresh pomace is wet and fibrous, while dried pomace is more shelf-stable and can be coarse or powdered. Its colour, flavour, and composition vary with the apples and the degree of pressing. It is distinct from whole apple pulp and from refined apple fibre or pectin.

Laboratory values for one freeze-dried Spanish apple-pomace sample. The reported energy calculation counts measured sugars rather than all total carbohydrate, which includes substantial fibre; variety and juice or cider processing materially change composition.

Fresh and dried pomace cannot be compared directly without accounting for moisture; pressing intensity and the amount of peel and seed material also matter.
