Assessing the Features of Tomato Pomace Powder in Suspensions

The aim of this work was to investigate the physicochemical characteristics of dried tomato pomace and the viscoelastic behavior of suspensions obtained by the rehydration of dry, grinded tomato pomace and sieved with a particle size a* and b* increased, while lightness (L*) decreased with concentration and temperature increase. These results could be useful to select the adequate concentration of TP to achieve a desired consistency of the product during processing with positive effects on quality parameters of the finite product
