Impact of drying technologies on bioactive composition of fruit pomace: a critical review and future perspectives.
Review in Food chemistry: X, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Fruit pomaces are major underutilized by-products of the juice and wine industries, rich in polyphenols, including flavonoids, anthocyanins, and tannins, as well as functional polysaccharides such as dietary fiber and pectin. Their valorization as food ingredients depends critically on drying, which stabilizes the material while strongly influencing bioactive retention. This review synthesizes recent findings on the effects of conventional (hot-air) and emerging (vacuum, microwave-assisted, infrared, refractance window, and hybrid) drying technologies applied to apple, grape, blueberry, cherry, pear, citrus, kiwi, peach, apricot, and other berry pomaces. Across matrices, oxygen exposure and residence time emerged as more decisive than temperature alone in governing bioactive stability. Optimized hot-air drying at 60-70 °C can preserve phenolics and antioxidant activity, whereas extended or high-temperature treatments accelerate oxidative degradation. Low-oxygen and rapid-transfer techniques, particularly vacuum-based and hybrid systems, consistently enhanced retention of phenolics, anthocyanins, and antioxidant activity while maintaining fiber and pectin integrity. Overall, the findings highlight the need for matrix-specific, energy-aware drying strategies to support scalable and sustainable pomace valorization.
