The present invention is centered on the creation of a novel biomaterial characterized by vitreous-like properties, originating from the thermomechanical transformation of vegetable pomace generated by agro-industrial processes. The distinct morphology, uniformity, porosity, and numerous stress concentration points confer to this novel biomaterial quasi-brittleness properties, which aids in its conversion into an ultrafine powder with high bioavailability. This powder is distinguished by its exceptional dispersibility and organoleptic attributes. The resulting micronized functional ingredient boasts remarkable versatility, integrating flawlessly into both solid and liquid product matrices. It facilitates the creation of stable, easily processable products suitable for mass industrial production. These attributes render it an optimal ingredient for diverse applications within the food, cosmetic, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical sectors.
