ABSTRACT
The demand for healthy products has led researchers and industry to develop sustainable foods with high nutritional properties. Berry pomace is a by-product from the juice industry, and a valuable source of bioactive compounds. Its composition allows it to be used as a functional ingredient with antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. Moreover, pomace possesses specific techno-functional properties that can lead to changes in the characteristics of the food where it is incorporated. The objective of this work is to collect current knowledge of composition, nutritional, and techno-functional properties of berry pomace, and its use as an ingredient in different foods.
