One option for your patient might be to air dry the peel and then grind it into a powder since the total phenolic and flavonoid contents of the dried peel powder are similar to those of fresh apple peel. Hope this helps! Hi Meera,

If apples are peeled and then steamed for about 15 minutes, will there be any nutritive value in them left, especially antioxidant quercetin? My patient does not like peeled and cant eat hard food. Please reply soon! Thank you very much. If apples are peeled and then steamed for about 15 minutes, will there be any nutritive value in them left, especially antioxidant quercetin?
