Growing attention to environmental protection leads food industries to adopt a model of "circular economy" applying safe and sustainable technologies to recover, recycle and valorize by-products. Therefore, by-products become raw material for other industries. Tomato processing industry produces significant amounts of by-products, consisting of skins and seeds. Tomato skin is very rich in lycopene, and from its seeds, high nutritional oil can be extracted. Alternative use of the two fractions not only could cut disposal costs but also allow one to extract bioactive compounds and an oil with a high nutritional value. This review focused on the recent advance in extraction of lycopene, whose beneficial effects on health are widely recognized.
越来越多的人关注环境保护,促使食品行业采用“循环经济”模式,应用安全可持续的技术来回收、再循环和增值利用副产品。因此,副产品成为其他行业的原材料。番茄加工行业会产生大量的副产品,包括果皮和种子。番茄皮富含番茄红素,而从种子中可以提取出高营养价值的油。这两种成分的替代使用不仅可以降低处理成本,还可以提取具有生物活性的化合物和高营养价值的油。本文综述了近年来番茄红素提取技术的最新进展,其对健康的有益作用已得到广泛认可。
