Globally, the amount of food processing waste has become a major concern for environmental sustainability. The valorization of these waste materials can solve the problems of its disposal. Notably, the tomato pomace and crustacean processing waste presents enormous opportunities for the extraction of commercially vital carotenoids, lycopene, and astaxanthin, which have diverse applications in the food, feed, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetic industries. Moreover, such waste can generate surplus revenue which can significantly improve the economics of food production and processing. Considering these aspects, many reports have been published on the efficient use of tomato and crustacean processing waste to recover lycopene and astaxanthin. The current review provides up-to-date information available on the chemistry of lycopene and astaxanthin, their extraction methods that use environmentally friendly green solvents to minimize the impact of toxic chemical solvents on health and environment. Future research challenges in this context are also identified.
在全球范围内，食品加工废物的数量已经成为环境可持续性的主要关注点。这些废物材料的增值利用可以解决其处理问题。值得注意的是，番茄渣和甲壳类加工废物为提取具有商业价值的类胡萝卜素、番茄红素和虾青素提供了巨大的机会，这些物质在食品、饲料、制药和化妆品行业有广泛的应用。此外，这种废物还可以产生额外的收入，这可以显著改善食品生产和加工的经济效益。考虑到这些方面，已经有许多关于利用番茄和甲壳类加工废物有效回收番茄红素和虾青素的报告。本综述提供了关于番茄红素和虾青素化学性质的最新信息，以及使用环保绿色溶剂提取它们的方法，以最大限度地减少有毒化学溶剂对健康和环境的影响。在这方面，还确定了未来的研究挑战。
