An apple peel powdering process developed at Cornell University to fortify foods has made its first appearance in the Olympics Games. Six thousand 32-gram tubes of "Applebooster ", an organic applesauce fortified with dried apple peel powder (DAPP(tm)) to add fiber and increase antioxidants, was distributed to the approximately 750 U.S. Olympic athletes and 250 coaches as they boarded their flights to China earlier this month.
