Abstract
In the modern food industry, improving bakery product quality through functional ingredients is a growing focus. Fruit powders or flours derived from pulp or by-products such as peels and seeds provide fibers, antioxidants, and bioactive compounds that enhance nutritional value, functionality, and shelf life. However, soil contamination with heavy metals negatively impacts cereal crops, lowering flour quality and food safety. Incorporating fruit powders from chokeberry, sea buckthorn, currants, cranberries, rosehip, raspberry, apple, or grape can mitigate these effects while improving dough properties and texture. This study demonstrates fruit powders’ potential as sustainable ingredients for high-value functional bakery products.
