Dried organic red currant pomace

Dried organic red currant pomace

The fruit for the production of dried organic red currant pomace comes from certified organic farms. The product is obtained from washed, crushed, squeezed black currants, which are then air-dried in accordance with the requirements of HACCP and ISO 9001. Dried organic red currant pomace
is characterised primarily by a lower content of nitrates (V) and nitrites (III) and pesticide residues. However, it contains more vitamin C and other vitamins, especially vitamins from the tocol group, valuable essential unsaturated fatty acids (EFAs), total sugars, proteins, flavonoids, dyes, organic acids, pectins and minerals, including potassium, copper, iron, magnesium and calcium. Dried organic red currant pomace
can be a good source of unsaturated fatty acids and tocopherols, especially α-tocopherol, due to the high content of seeds. It has a unique profile of long-chain fatty acids, including: α-linolenic acid, γ-linolenic acid and stearic acid.
The dried product with moisture content < 12% contains 10-15% total protein, 2-3% crude fat, 29-31% crude fibre, max. 3.0% crude ash.
