A modern technological solution enabling the use of fruit pomace to color food.

The project concerned conducting research in order to develop the process of colouring food production, aiming at the use of various techniques for separating the colouring substance from fruit marc (being the waste product of juice production). The colouring extract obtained as the final product is not classified as a pure colouring substance hence, as a natural food ingredient, allows the food producer to use so called "clean label". The project it has been classified as good practice due to its innovative character. The implementation of the project contributed to the reduction of the negative impact on the environment in the processing plant. As a result of the work carried out, some very modern technological solutions have been implemented and thanks to this the only food dyeing plant in Poland was created. The good practice matches the subject-matter objective very well: the infrastructure and scientific potential/abilities in terms of tests and innovations. During the project implementation, a number of research works were carried out, intended to promote the development of the entire process of dyed food production. The project responds to such challenges as:
•aiming at the use of natural ingredients,
•"clean label."
•manufacture by means of a physical transformations,
•high quality,
•microbiological safety.
The product is addressed primarily to the food industry, i.e. entities using dyeing extracts for their production.
