STUDY ON EFFECTS OF TECHNICAL CONDITIONS ON LYCOPENE EXTRACTION FROM TOMATO
Main Article Content
Abstract
Lycopene, a biologically active, belonging to the carotenoid, is found in many fruits and vegetables such as tomato, watermelon, gac fruit, strawberry, papaya... Several studies have suggested that lycopene may have positive effects on human health, such as preventing cardiovascular diseases, protecting against some cancers and preventing UV induced erythema. In this study, lycopene was extracted from tomato paste in different technological conditions. The results showed that lycopene extraction efficiency reached 86.32% at suitable parameters of extraction process, such as the ratio of ethyl acetate/ tomato paste: 3/1, stirring speed of 300 rpm, at the temperature of 500C and time duration in 3h. Lycopene had been extracted 2 times gave the extraction efficiency of 91.32%.
