Abstract

Apple, Malus domestica Borkh., a member of Rosaceae family, is one of the most grown, favored and processed fruit worldwide, generating an immense volume of industrial by-products, collectively referred as apple pomace. In general, apple pomace is discarded, which ultimately leads to environmental pollution. Nonetheless, apple pomace is a source of carbohydrates, proteins, amino acids, fatty acids, phenolic compounds, vitamins, and other bioactive compounds that can be used in food and pharmaceutical products. Here we review the nano-delivery of bioactive compounds from apple pomace, with focus on polymer-, lipid- and inorganic-based nanomaterials used to improve bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy.
