Utilization of industrial production of pomegranate and apple pomaces

Our country is at important in terms of production and consumption fruit and fruit juice is somewhere in. Pomaces that obtain from this sector are important for to recover and incorporate for economy and to prevent environmental pollution for humanity. In this study; pomegranate and apple pomaces that obtained fruit juice sector, the drying experiments were carried out at 50, 60, 70 and 80°C and at the air velocity 2±0,1 m/s. These results that profited by experimental data tested ten different mathematical models and observed that the Midilli et al. model gives best estimates. Effective diffusivities of pomegranate and apple pomaces are changed between 1,22x10-10 and 4,40x10-10 m2/s, the activation energy values of pomegranate and apple pomaces are found on 39,67 kJ/mol and 29,65 kJ/mol.In addition fresh and dried pomegranate and apple pomaces content analysis carried out. The results showed that the two pomaces are rich in dietary fiber. In addition both pomaces include different amounts of vitamins, fats and minerals.
