Therefore, tomato peels are drum dried, milled, and homogenized to facilitate the transport and storage of the bioactive residue, producing a product with around 75% total dietary fiber (FDT) (Anonymous, 2009). Tomato fiber also has a high content of
antioxidants (phenolic compounds and lycopene). Thus, it could be considered an interesting ingredient to be used in the food industry, reducing the environmental pollution associated with the accumulation of tomato processing residue.
