The rising number of people who are overweight or obese is a huge public health burden; excessive intakes ofsugar and calories above recommendations, in combination with sedentary lifestyles has been associated withthis rise. In addition, fibre intakes are reported as below recommendations. This application addresses thechallenge of sugar reduction in foods, and an increase in fibre content. Fruit pomace is a sustainable sidestreammaterial generated by a number of UK based fruit processors. There is potential to ‘value up’ this material as abulking ingredient in foods. Its use as a sugar replacer would improve the nutritional profile of the product byreducing sugar and calories and increasing the fibre and micronutient content. The focus of this application isto develop a method to process the fruit pomace at a minimal process cost, to give a fine powder suitable forapplication into food as a sugar replacer.

超重或肥胖人数的增加是一个巨大的公共卫生负担；摄入过量的糖和卡路里，再加上久坐不动的生活方式，与这种上升有关。此外，纤维摄入量报告如下建议。这一应用解决了食物中糖减少和纤维含量增加的挑战。果渣是一种可持续的侧流材料，由英国的一些水果加工商生产。有可能“重视”这种材料作为食品中的填充成分。它作为糖替代品的使用将通过减少糖和卡路里以及增加纤维和微量营养素含量来改善产品的营养状况。本申请的重点是开发一种以最小工艺成本加工果渣的方法，以获得适合作为糖替代品应用于食品中的细粉末。
