Olive pomace

Olive pomace is a byproduct derived from the olive oil extraction process. It consists of the solid remains of olives after they have been pressed for their oil. This material includes the skins, pulp, seeds, and stems of the fruit. Olive pomace can be further processed to extract residual oil, known as pomace oil, which is often used in industrial applications or as a lower-grade cooking oil. In addition to its oil content, olive pomace is sometimes utilized as a biomass fuel, an organic fertilizer, or an ingredient in animal feed. Its composition and potential uses make it an important component in the sustainable management of olive oil production waste.
