By-products derived from the tomato industry not only have a potential application in the food industry; due to their content of bioactive compounds, but they are also attractive for the pharmaceutical or cosmetic industries. However, since phenolic compounds are bound to the cell wall and lycopene is inside the chloroplast, the
quantification of these compounds requires applying extraction techniques to improve the characterization of the plant food by products. Conventional extraction of polyphenols from cell walls is generally performed by maceration; however, this technique leads to a low recovery
