Physicochemical, Phytochemical and Sensory Properties of Myrobalan (Prunus cerasifera L.) Fruit Leather: Effects of Sugar Concentration and Enrichment with Blackcurrant and Bilberry Pomace Powders

Myrobalan plum is a widespread but underutilized fruit, rich in dietary fiber, organic acids and bioactive compounds. The present research was carried out to develop myrobalan plum leathers using different levels of sugar addition, and to improve their functionality by adding blackcurrant (BCP) and bilberry (BBP) pomace powders. The resulting fruit leathers were analyzed for color, titratable acidity, total phenolic content, antioxidant activity, organic acid profile, phenolic profile and...
