Abstract:Abstract. Subcritical water extraction (SWE) of lycopene from tomato waste and antioxidant activities was studied with response surface design. The optimal extracting conditions were identified as follows: 10g tomato waste sample with 73.8 ml double-distilled water, extraction temperature 192.01°C, and extraction time 15.80 min. The average extraction yield of lycopene amounted to 282.36 μg/g, whereas the extraction yield with Ultrasound microwave assisted extraction (UMAE) for three times was 207.63 μg/g. The… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
