Apples are very healthy and plentiful food source. Apples are rich in fibre, anti-oxidants and complex carbohydrates that help maintain a healthy weight, support digestion and reduce the risk of diabetes, heart disease, asthma and some cancers. Apples are also anti-inflammatory, helping to protect against muscle damage during exercise. When apple juice and cider is made, the most nutritionally rich part of the apple – the flesh and skin - is usually discarded.
Bangor University is collaborating with Welsh food and sustainable technology entrepreneurs The Pudding Compartment and Pennotec (Pennog Ltd) to make healthier, food ingredients from the pressed apple ‘pomace’ that is thrown away by drinks manufacturers. These ingredients – apple fibre and apple syrup - can replace up to 40% of the fat and sugar in whole foods - reducing food calories by up to 30% without compromising taste and texture. Once they can be supplied to food manufacturers across Wales, these clean label, vegan-friendly ingredients will help deliver targets for reducing both child and adult obesity and support Welsh Government wellbeing policy, encouraging heathier lifestyles in communities across Wales.
We’re conducting a taste test today with apple-flavoured flapjacks. One flapjack contains apple fibre and syrup and contains 20% fewer calories and half the sugar and saturated fats of the other.
Which do you prefer or do you have no strong preference?
Developing the calorie-reducing apple ingredients has involved multi-disciplinary collaboration between Bangor University staff and students and the Welsh industrial partners:
• Staff and students from the Psychology Department helped develop consumer taste testing trials and surveys - including many that took place in Primary schools across Gwynedd - which showed that healthier versions of the foods we enjoy can play a part in reducing childhood and adult obesity and improve health and wellbeing in Wales and beyond.
• The apple pomace used to make the ingredients was supplied by Anglesey-based cider and apple juice manufacturer Jaspels. Both businesses believe strongly in reducing food miles by sourcing ingredients locally and the Geography Department staff and a Masters researcher investigated how the ‘green’ credentials of the apple ingredients would influence consumers and food service outlets to buy the product.
• Research staff at the BioComposites Centre, helped develop the apple fibre product by adapting techniques used on a large scale in wood pulp manufacture to make apple dietary fibre swell up in water and fill the space in foods when fats and sugar are removed.
If you’d like to learn more about healthy apple ingredients please go to www.milacel.com
If you have enjoyed the taste of the 20% reduced calorie apple flapjacks, think about how you could help to take this fabulous food invention of apple fibre and apple syrup ingredients from orchards and cider makers in Wales to the world.

The Mount Elgon Tree Growing Enterprise LTD (METGE) is a is a 'not for profit' organisation, registered and based in Mbale, Uganda and is supported by the Welsh Government’s, 'Wales for Africa' programme through the Size of Wales
charity (SOW). The purpose of METGE is to manage, support and develop tree growing enterprises in Mount Elgon region in Uganda with the highest environmental and ethical integrity. In October 2019 the programme celebrated the distribution and planting of 10 million trees and it is on course to distribute 25 million trees by 2025 (25/25). METGE produces ~3.2 million tree seedlings each year which are supplied in plastic potting bags made from non-sustainable, fossil fuel derived plastics, including polyethylene. Following the supply and planting of these tree seedlings by beneficiary farmers, there is no defined method of disposing of these used potting bags as they are not recycled or re-used. In order to reduce plastics waste, including material generated from agricultural plastic mulch films which are a major environmental issue in soils across the world including Africa, one of METGE’s priorities is to develop a more sustainable agricultural film wrap to transport and supply its tree seedlings.
Bangor University and the National Agricultural Research Organisation (NARO-Uganda) are collaborating with METGE to develop a more sustainable, biobased film product for packaging of the METGE tree seedlings, which will be produced
from agricultural crop residues generated in Uganda. Valorisation of these types of residues and the commercialisation of biobased products generated from this feedstock is a key focus of the Uganda Governments THIRD NATIONAL

Article in "Advances Wales": The Journal for Science, Engineering and Technology: Researchers from Bangor University are creating sustainable food packaging from maize to reduce post harvest losses. Post harvest losses are caused by fresh produce spoilage during transportation from the farm to the market, which
typically results from the use of sub-optimal packaging materials.
These losses have a significant impact on food security, as well as farmer
incomes, in East Africa. In Uganda's fruit and vegetable sector, it is estimated that
30-40 per cent of fresh produce is wasted through post harvest losses, rising to 60
per cent for tomatoes.

Pennotec is pleased to announce a new research collaboration with Irish company CyberColloids and Bangor University’s Biocomposites Centre with the aim of addressing some factors affecting childhood obesity by making food choices healthier. This SBRI challenge-led project is overseen by Welsh Government’s Food and Drink Division and supported financially through the Welsh Government and Innovate UK’s Small Business Research Initiative (SBRI). It aims to develop new functional food ingredients from surplus food industry resources in Wales and use them to replace high calorie ingredients such as fat in the kinds of food that are particularly popular with children.
