About
Apple pomace is processed to give a high WBC functional fibre in bakery and confectionery as a sugar replacement. This project has been funded by InnovateUK and is ready to scale with the right demand. The drying equipment is purchased and ready to install, although pilot runs have been done with a smaller dryer. We would need to install the second dryer before next apple harvest season. We can produce up to 5000t dry pomace flour per year. We specialise in drying food-process waste streams and so this is only one strand that we could offer.
