note = {Red berry juice, rich in secondary plant metabolites such as anthocyanins, represents a good alternative to the consumption of red berries. According to the German Association of Nutrition, a consumption of five portions of fruits and/or vegetables per day is recommended. However, the average intake of the German citizens only amounts to 50 – 60% of daily fruit and/or vegetable intake. Thus, fruit juice producers are interested in reaching for the potential in berry juice consumption as a part of the daily intake and to increase the content of bioactive compounds in the juices. The extraction of phenolic compounds (PCs), facilitated by the enzymatic maceration, is decisive in juice production resulting in a by-product with low PC content. In juice production, more than 20% of the fruit accrue as pomace. However, the great potential of pomace has not been fully exploited, yet. Currently, pomace is used as animal feed, discarded, or only parts of it are utilized for PCs extraction. Optimization of the juice production by ultrasound (US) or valorization of by-products is of relevance in juice industry to produce sustainably and to preserve heat sensitive PCs.
The present thesis aimed to investigate the effects of US treatment during enzymatic maceration (UAEM) conducted at gentle conditions on chokeberry juice production on pilot-plant scale. Further, a strategy for the valorization of pomace was investigated by producing coloring foodstuffs originating from dried berry pomace.
UAEM resulted in lower yields of pomace making juice production more resource-efficient and further improved cell wall polysaccharide degradation. Thermal and storage stability of anthocyanins were improved by UAEM.
Milling of the seedless fraction of dried berry pomace presents a promising valorization technique. The intact cell structure and a high content of PCs ensured an improved storage stability of anthocyanins in pomace powders. Compared to other coloring foodstuffs, red pomace powders showed acceptable color stability and enables a wide application in food industry.
Hence, the present dissertation provides new insights into the promising potential of an advanced conventional chokeberry juice production by applying US at gentle conditions resulting in juices rich in PCs and enabling the valorization of berry pomace on pilot-plant scale with a transfer towards a resource-efficient production.},
