Apple juice is undergoing a transformation because scientists have discovered a method to press the fruit that may increase its health benefits.
It has been found that this novel method preserves four times more polyphenols.
Antioxidant polyphenols, naturally occurring plant compounds found in cocoa, fruit, and red wine, are believed to offer health benefits to the brain and heart, as well as potential disease protection.
Researchers say that these compounds can be maximized by using a spiral filter press that removes oxygen.
Scientists claim that the degradation of nutrients is slowed by excluding oxygen from all other processing stages. Previous studies have shown that a specific category of polyphenols known as flavan-3-ols might have the potential to ameliorate hypertension, hyperlipidaemia, and hyperglycaemia.
