Lycopene, an important carotenoid in tomatoes is responsible for the red colour in tomatoes. The antioxidant capability of lycopene has led to promising results in decreasing the risk of some illnesses and diseases. Tomato pomace is considered to be the potential raw material for production of natural lycopene. The effects of different dryers (tray, vacuum and fluidized bed) and drying temperature (50, 60, 70, 80 and 90 C) on lycopene retention in dried pomace were evaluated. The dried pomace produced using standardized drying technique was used for optimization of supercritical fluid...

The important carotenoid in tomatoes i. e. lycopene having antioxidant capability has led to promising results in decreasing the risk of some illnesses and diseases. The tomato processing waste (pomace) is considered to be the potential raw material for production of natural lycopene. The purpose behind conventional solvent extraction method is a cheaper technology as compared to other modern technologies. It can be satisfactorily intended in the food systems as a functional ingredient. For the maximum recovery of lycopene from tomato pomace was carried out by selecting the suitable solvent...

TECHNOLOGY FOR SIMULATED CHYAWANPRASH BAR was conducted with a broad objective to prepare and standardize the process with various parameters like drying temperature, pectin concentration and thickness of the sheet. Maximum ascorbic acid and overall acceptability score obtained for SCB was considered to optimize the processing parameters during drying to get optimum quality of SCB. For tray drying, maximum ascorbic acid content found was 89.41 mg/ 100g when the sheet of 4 mm thickness having 0.5 % pectin concentration was dried at 60 C and maximum overall acceptability score obtained was 7.80...
