AI Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated the impact of dried apple pomace (DAP) as a feed additive on cattle, specifically its effect on enzymatic activity and antioxidant compounds in the rumen fluid of dairy cows over a 52-day period.
- - Results showed that DAP altered the activity of various enzymes: some decreased significantly (like leucyl-aminopeptidase), while others increased, indicating complex changes in rumen digestion processes.
- - Additionally, there were notable increases in vitamin C and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, suggesting DAP may enhance antioxidant capacity, along with significant correlations between different enzyme activities in the rumen.
Article Abstract
The study aimed to evaluate the effect of dried apple pomace (DAP) as a feed additive on the enzymatic activity and non-enzymatic compounds belonging to the antioxidant system in cattle rumen fluid. The experiment included 4 Polish Holstein−Friesian cannulated dairy cows and lasted 52 days. The control group was fed with the standard diet, while in the experimental group, 6% of the feedstuff was replaced by dried apple pomace. After the feeding period, ruminal fluid was collected. The spectrophotometric technique for the activity of lysosomal enzymes, the content of vitamin C, polyphenols, and the potential to scavenge the free DPPH radical was used. The enzyme immunoassay tests (ELISA) were used to establish the activity of antioxidants enzymes and MDA. Among the rumen aminopeptidases, a significant reduction (p < 0.01) from 164.00 to 142.00 was observed for leucyl-aminopeptidase. The activity of glycosidases was decreased for HEX (from 231.00 to 194.00) and β-Glu (from 1294.00 to 1136.00), while a significant statistically increase was noticed for BGRD (from 31.10 to 42.40), α-Glu (from 245.00 to 327.00), and MAN (from 29.70 to 36.70). Furthermore, the activity of catalase and GSH (p < 0.01) was inhibited. In turn, the level of vitamin C (from 22.90 to 24.10) and MDA (from 0.36 to 0.45) was statistically higher (p < 0.01). The most positive correlations were observed between AlaAP and LeuAP (r = 0.897) in the aminopeptidases group and between β-Gal and MAN (r = 0.880) in the glycosidases group. Furthermore, one of the most significant correlations were perceived between SOD and AlaAP (r = 0.505) and AcP (r = 0.450). The most negative correlation was noticed between α-Gal and DPPH (r = −0.533) based on these observations. Apple pomace as a feed additive has an influence on lysosomal degradation processes and modifies oxidation−reduction potential in the rumen fluid. Polyphenols and other low-weight antioxidant compounds are sufficient to maintain redox balance in the rumen.

This study investigated the impact of adding raspberry pomace to the phenolic content and biological properties of freeze-dried apple/raspberry bars. The bars were prepared by replacing apple puree with raspberry pomace (5-50%), and their phenolic compounds were assessed using ethanol and buffer extracts. This work also explored the potential bioaccessibility of phenolic compounds in enriched bars through a simulated digestion process (digest).

The increase in food production is accompanied by an increase in waste, particularly agricultural by-products from cultivation and processing. These residues are referred to as agricultural by-products. To address this issue, biotechnological processes can be used to create new applications for these by-products.

Article Synopsis
- Alternaria spp. in apples can produce toxic secondary metabolites that threaten human and animal health, and this study explored the contamination levels and how these toxins are affected by processing methods.
- Apples showed increased susceptibility to infection at 25 °C, producing six different toxins which did not spread beyond 4 cm from the infection site.
- Processing methods like juicing and canning impacted toxin levels, with juice transfer rates lower than pomace, and most human exposure through apple products was well within recommended safety limits, suggesting a low dietary risk.

Most polyphenols are glycosylated, affecting their uptake, metabolism, and biological activity. However, the attached sugar must be removed before absorption and functionality can take place. Yet, despite the biological and chemical implications of polyphenol (de-)glycosylation, most in vitro digestion assays omit the utilization of intestinal brush border α- and/or β-glycosidases to study polyphenol bioaccessibility and deglycosylation.
