Abstract
The effects of various parameters of supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) fluid extractions of tomato peel by-product containing tomato seed on lycopene yield were investigated. The operational parameters temperature included (40 -100 °C), pressures (20-40 MPa), a and flow rates (1-4 mL/min) was studied. Experiment results……. that the yield optimum were in the range 56 %. The …………. temperature and pressure were 90-100 °C and 40 MPa, respectively. The flow rate was not significant by collected the lycopene yield. Then can’t be concluded method by supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) fluid extractions was high ……….. lycopene extractions method.
