Optimization of enzyme assisted extraction of lycopene from industrial tomato waste

High-Value Compounds in Fruit, Vegetable and Cereal Byproducts: An Overview of Potential Sustainable Reuse and Exploitation

“…In the last two decades, many studies have investigated the possibility of using several classes of enzymes for FW treatment for the recovery of major bioactive components from fruit, vegetable and cereal byproducts ( Table 3). Commercial cellulases and pectinolytic formulations (e.g., Viscozyme L cellulolytic enzyme complex, Ultrazym pectinolytic preparation, Pectinex and Lallzyme Beta), and/or microbial enzymes (e.g., α-amylase, β-glucosidase, xylanase, β-glucanase) have been successfully applied to improve the release of biologically active substances from food byproducts [68]. Rice bran Protease type II from Aspergillus oryzae and α-amylase type XII-A from Bacillus licheniformis γ-oryzanol, α-tocopherol and other phenolics [79] Rice bran and husk Cellulase γ-oryzanol and vanillic acid [80] Brewer's grain and wheat bran Ultraflo L Ferulic acid, p-coumaric acid, cellulose and arabinoxylan [81] Brewery-spent Grain Carbohydrases and peptidase Carbohydrate-and protein-derived fractions [82] Wheat and rye bran Amylase, glucoamylase and xylanase Ethanol [83] Among enzymes, proteases represent a group of hydrolases that are often used, both as commercial and microbial origins, for the production of bioactive peptides from fish and meat waste processing.…”

“…Cellulase and pectinase have been widely employed as a pretreatment step of tomato-based products prior to solvent extraction for the recovery of carotenoids, especially lycopene. Pretreatment of tomato waste using a food-grade enzyme preparation with pectinolytic, cellulolytic and hemicellulotic activities resulted in an 8-to 18-fold increase in the recovery of lycopene in extraction yields [68]. Enzymatic catalysis can also be applied to obtain pectin products with desirable functional properties.…”

Review of Alternative Solvents for Green Extraction of Food and Natural Products: Panorama, Principles, Applications and Prospects

“…The use of enzymes provides high selectivity, mild treatment conditions (processes occurring at low temperatures and for short period time), the possibility of using the whole plant material and high product quality (low residue levels) compared with other methods such as mechanical and chemical treatment [26,27]. For example, Kahveci et al [28] used enzyme-assisted extraction to increase the recovery of carotenoids, especially lycopene, from tomato paste production waste. A study was carried out on different types of enzymes (proteases and glucanases) and operations conditions ( 5 < pH<9; 30 °normalC<temperature<50 °normalCfalse) to extract the bioactive components on spirulina oil.…”

Antioxidant Molecules from Plant Waste: Extraction Techniques and Biological Properties

“…Enzyme-assisted extraction has been used to extract various compounds from vegetable waste, such as carotenoids and flavonoids, among others [114][115][116][117]. However, in recent times, enzymatic technology is a trending biotechnological tool to obtain bioactive peptides from plant origin waste; in fact, bioactive peptides have received much attention because of their interesting functional and bioactive properties; and can be used as nutraceuticals for the development of functional foods [38,118].…”
