The quality of cider is influenced by its phenolic compound content. Apple pomace, an industrial by-product of cider production, is rich in bioactive compounds, including polyphenols. The objective of this study was to determine the potential of apple pomace addition during fermentation to increase the phenolic content in cider. Apple juice from Jonagold apples was divided into a control and three treatment groups. Control cider was fermented with 100% apple juice, while treatments were prepared with different additions of apple pomace to the apple juice. Ciders were fermented for 14 days, followed by chemical and sensory analysis. Ciders with apple pomace addition contained 31&ndash:61% higher phenolic compound concentrations than the control. The addition of apple pomace modified the volatile profile of the ciders. Treatment ciders contained higher concentrations of isoamyl alcohol, phenylethyl alcohol, and ethyl acetate, and lower concentrations of acetaldehyde. Ciders with apple pomace addition exhibited lower levels of astringency and sourness, and higher bitterness levels compared to the control. There was no difference in aroma perception and taste acceptance between the ciders. This study demonstrates the potential of apple pomace addition as a cidermaking technique for phenolic compound extraction and sensory profile modification.
