Dried tomato pomace, a byproduct of tomato processing, is an excellent source of $$alpha$$-tocopherol (vitamin E), which is used as an antioxidant in broiler meat.In a feeding study, there were no significant differences in body weight and feed per gain in chicks given diets with or without tomato pomace.Tomato pomace could be KERATINE TREATMENT used as a source of $$alpha$$-tocopherol in broiler diets to decrease lipid oxidation (fat deterioration) during heating and long-term frozen Nocturnal Ink Grey Wash Light storage of dark meat, and to prolong shelf life.Because tomato byproducts contain high levels of unsaturated fatty acids, the pomace must be defatted without losing vitamin E to minimize its oxidation potential.Although we found no evidence that introducing a high-fiber feed ingredient significantly limited broiler growth, more research is needed to enhance its practical applications.
