摘要
Optimum technical parameters for extracting lycopene from tomatoes are studied with orthogonal experiments.The results show that chloroform has the best effect compared to 4 other groups of solvents:petroleum ether,acetic add + ethanol,acetic ether,and acetone + diethyl ether,associated with the parameters of 40℃,pH 5 and the ratio of tomato paste to solvent 1:1.
Optimum technical parameters for extracting lycopene from tomatoes are studied with crthogonal experiments. The results show that chloroform has the best effect compared to 4 other groups of solvents: petoleum ether, acetic acid + ethanol, acetic ether, and acetone + diethyl ether, associated with the parameters of 40℃, pH 5 and the ratio of tomato paste to solvent 1:1.
