Analytical characterisation of the seeds of two tomato varieties as a basis for recycling of waste materials in the food industry

Interactions between lipophilic antioxidants measured by photochemiluminescence assay and α-tocopherol equivalent antioxidant capacity assay as well as the influence of matrix compounds on the lipophilic antioxidant capacity

“…These concentration-dependent effects were firstly described by Hengst, Werner, Müller, Fr€ ohlich, and B€ ohm (2009) and indicated that the results of the antioxidant capacity can depend significantly on the applied sample concentration/dilution in different assays (Hengst et al, 2009). Meanwhile, several researchers also observed the dilution effect but the basic causes of the effects are yet unknown (Bauerfeind, Hintze, Kschonsek, Killenberg, & B€ ohm, 2014;Sipel et al, 2013;Westphal, Bauerfeind, Rohrer, Ernawita, & B€ ohm, 2014).…”

Valorization of Agri-Food Wastes as Sustainable Eco-Materials for Wastewater Treatment: Current State and New Perspectives

“…With regard to the biggest crops, the potatoes register an increase in comparison with corn, soy, and wheat, or rice and the increase is significantly higher in the last decades. As an example, from 1968 to 2018, the increase in world potato crops was about 46.2% [ 125 ]. The peel waste from potatoes does not represent a valuable product, but it results in a large amount after the industrial processing, which can signify from 15 to 40% of the initial potato culture [ 126 ].…”

“…The alternative utilization of the tomato wastes could be as a functional structure for colorants, antioxidants, or other types of components with beneficial consequences on health. The tomato seeds could also represent an essential material for new products [ 125 ].…”

Lycopene: Emerging Production Methods and Applications of a Valued Carotenoid

“…The peel portion contains five times more lycopene than the pulp by weight . However, the extraction from pomace containing seeds allows obtaining simultaneously seed oil, which is another valued nutraceutical product already in the market due to its high content in unsaturated fatty acids, mainly linoleic and oleic acid …”
