Name:
Apple Chains

Description:
The showcases on the apple chain (both in Brittany, Ax.1b) offer solutions for thevalorisation of residues from apple-cider production. The showcase 1 demonstratesnew solutions to stabilise fresh cider residues (conventional practice: drying; new:oxidation control) and highlights the sustainability aspects of the new solutions.Various cider producers participate. The showcase 2 demonstrates the range ofproducts possible to make from cider residues. It considers cascade fractionations togain pectin and polyphenolic extracts and anaerobic digestions process to gain biogas.Additionally, the possibilities to combine the production processes with otherbioresources from nearby are shown. Regional partners (INRAE, IFPC) together with local apple cider producers and otherindustries provide expertise’s and technical means for the showcases. Transnationalpartners (TUHH, GBB, AU, DELPHY, PSKW, NBF) support with knowledge and productapplication as well as multiplication suggestions.
