Dried blackcurrant pomace (dried pomace or ground to the fraction ordered).
Dried blackcurrant pomace (dried pomace or ground to the fraction ordered).
Product obtained from washed, crushed, squeezed blackcurrants, which are then dried, sieved, ground and packed into individual packages (paper bags or big bags depending on the customer’s needs). The dried product with moisture content < 14% contains 14-16% total protein, 11-14% crude fat, 20-25% crude fibre, max 4% ash including minerals: 0.8% calcium, 0.4% assimilable phosphorus. Due to the high content of fatty acids, blackcurrant pomace is a good source of energy and essential unsaturated fatty acids (EFA), including oleic acid (C18: 1) and alpha-linolenic acid (13.6%).
It is rich in nitrogen-free extractive compounds in the form of sugars, pectins and organic acids and vitamins. Due to the composition of the dietary fibre fraction, the product is recommended for older animals as a valuable source of fibre and flavonoid compounds.
Blackcurrant pomace is a source of polyphenolic compounds that counteract the excessive development of bacterial flora in the intestines, inhibiting the effects of excessive microbial growth. Research results confirm the antiviral effect of blackcurrant (Ribes nigrum) extract against influenza type A and B by inhibiting the penetration of the virus into the interior of cells. The mechanism of antiviral action consists in the penetration of anthocyanins into the cell membranes of leukocytes, which in turn penetrate the cells attacked by the virus and inhibit further replication of the viral protein. In addition, dried blackcurrant pomace has high antioxidant activity. It is recommended for use in the diet of animals exposed to stress. Dried blackcurrant pomace is produced in accordance with the requirements of the European feed safety standard GMP+ and the ISO 9001 standard.
