The four enzyme preparations were screened for their ability to enhance lycopene extraction from tomato peel tissue using ripe tomato peels. 0.2 g of peels and 3.5 mL of an enzyme solution prepared by dissolving 0.1 mL of the commercial enzyme product in 3.4 mL of distilled water were initially charged into 50-mL conical flasks. The flasks were magnetically stirred and incubated at 25 °C for 4 h. 30 mL of hexane were then poured into the flasks and the system was kept under agitation, at the same temperature, for further 1 h. After this time, stirring was stopped and the aqueous and organic phases allowed to separate. A 2-mL sample of the hexane layer was taken and analysed for lycopene content.
