Process Development for Maximum Lycopene Production from Selected Fruit Waste and its Antioxidant and Antiradical Activity
Author(s): Parveen Jamal, Iqrah Akbar, Yumi Z and Irwandi JParveen Jamal, Iqrah Akbar, Yumi Z and Irwandi J
Lycopene, one of the most widely used carotenoid is an efficient antioxidant and singlet oxygen quencher. Increasing demand of lycopene in the nutraceutical and drug industry has directed the researchers to produce lycopene with cost effective methods in large scale to meet the growing demand. Thermal processing liberates this carotenoid from complexes with proteins and thus increases its bioaccessibilty. The comparison of lycopene content was explored amongst four fruit peels; guava, papaya, watermelon and red dragon fruit to choose for the best source. Lycopene content was measured using both UV–vis spectrophotometer and identified using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) Papaya, a tropical fruit showed tremendous potential as an alternative source and was selected to conduct further investigation. Response surface methodology (RSM) usin.. View More»
