Brooks Revised: 7 January 2019 / Accepted: 29 January 2019 Association of Food Scientists & Technologists (India) 2019 Abstract Lycopene, a non-polar antioxidant compound validity of the model. This new technique for lycopene with important effects on human health and wide com- extraction, using a HEM as extraction solvent in replace- mercial applications, was extracted from tomato processing ment of hazardous organic solvents, and tomato pomace as wastes using innovative hydrophobic eutectic mixtures source material, represents a viable and more sustainable (HEMs) replacing traditional organic solvents. HEMs were approach for obtaining a high value-added bioactive com- prepared using DL-menthol as hydrogen-bond acceptor pound, and can contribute towards the development of (HBA) and lactic acid as hydrogen-bond donor (HBD), and greener extraction processes. the ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) was optimized using a Box–Behnken design to evaluate extraction con- Keywords Green extraction  Deep eutectic solvents ditions: extraction temperature (C), molar ratio of eutectic TI - Sustainable approach for lycopene extraction from tomato processing by-product using hydrophobic eutectic solvents JF - Journal of Food Science and Technology DO - 10.1007/s13197-019-03618-8 DA - 2019-02-13 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/springer-journals/sustainable-approach-for-lycopene-extraction-from-tomato-processing-by-lbvh0lPOfR SP - 1 EP - 6 VL - OnlineFirst IS - DP - DeepDyve ER -
