Fruit pomace, a by-product of the fruit industry, includes the skins, seeds, and pulp most commonly left behind after juice extraction. It is produced in large quantities: apple residues alone generate approximately 4 million tons of waste annually, which is a serious problem for the processing industry but also creates opportunities for various applications. Due to, among other properties, their high content of dietary fiber and polyphenolic compounds, fruit residues are used to design food with functional features, improving the nutritional value and health-promoting, technological, and sensory properties of food products. This article presents the health-promoting (antioxidant, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial) properties of fruit pomace. Moreover, the possibilities of their use in the food industry are characterized, with particular emphasis on bread, sweet snack products, and extruded snacks. Attention is paid to the impact of waste products from the fruit industry on the nutritional value and technological and sensory characteristics of these products. Fruit pomace is a valuable by-product whose use in the food industry can provide a sustainable solution for waste management and contribute to the development of functional food products with targeted health-promoting properties.
水果渣是水果产业的副产物，包括果皮、种子和果肉，这些通常是在榨汁后剩下的部分。它的产量很大：仅苹果残渣每年就产生约 400 万吨废物，这对加工业来说是一个严重的问题，但也为各种应用创造了机会。由于水果残渣含有丰富的膳食纤维和多酚化合物等特性，因此可用于设计具有功能性的食品，提高食品的营养价值和促进健康、改善技术和感官特性。本文介绍了水果渣的促进健康的特性（抗氧化、抗糖尿病、抗炎和抗菌）。此外，还对其在食品工业中的应用可能性进行了描述，特别强调了面包、甜零食产品和挤压零食。本文还关注了水果产业废弃物对这些产品营养价值、技术和感官特性的影响。水果渣是一种有价值的副产物，其在食品工业中的应用可以为废物管理提供可持续的解决方案，并有助于开发具有针对性健康促进特性的功能性食品产品。
