Researchers have discovered a new way to juice apples that may increase their health benefits. The new method was found to preserve polyphenol content four times more.
Polyphenols; They are known as antioxidant, natural plant compounds found in fruits, red wine and cocoa, which are thought to benefit the heart and brain and protect against diseases.
Researchers say they can maximize these compounds by using a spiral filter press that removes oxygen.
Experts say that by excluding oxygen from all other processing steps, food spoilage is reduced. Past research has also suggested that a group of polyphenols called flavan-3-ols may help improve blood pressure, cholesterol concentration and blood sugar.
“Nutrient losses are often due to the presence of oxygen, which rapidly degrades some nutrients, such as flavan-3-ols or vitamin C in apple juice,” researcher Stefan Dussling told the journal Research International.
“We hope the new juicing method will be used more widely in the future to help people get more of these beneficial natural compounds by just drinking a glass of juice.” said.
