Abstract [eng] |
Lingonberry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea) pomace is considered by-product, which is usually removed as a waste, although it could be used for the isolation of bioactive compounds. Some researches have already proven that berry pomace contains a large part of bioactive compounds, such as various anthocyanins, flavonoids, phenolic acids and other compounds that have a positive effect on health. Therefore, berry pomace is useful processing into functional ingredients that may find application in foods, nutraceuticals and cosmetics industries. The aim of Master’s study is to isolate functional ingredients from lingonberry pomace by using high pressure and enzymatic biorefining processes and compare them with conventional extraction methods. Analyzation of obtained extracts/fractions composition and also evaluation of lingonberry pomace solid residues and extracts antioxidant properties, extracts oxidative stability, amount of anthocyanins. |
