Abstract:
Tomato processing residues can find valuable use both for the recovery of bioactive compounds and for the exploitation in different types of conversion. The work presents the results of the second year of evaluation of peels extracted from tomato lines with S. Marzano type fruit selected for skin color (from light to black-red). The peels were assessed for the content of compounds of different classes: lycopene and .-carotene; chlorogenic acid, quercetin, and rutin; delphinidin, petunidin, and malvidin. Moreover, based on the CHNSO content, through the Buswell’s formula we made an estimation of the theoretical BMP before and after the solvent-extraction of carotenoids. The effect of mutant genes influenced the accumulation of carotenoids and polyphenols in the peels. The genes responsible of the fruit color have been introduced in some modern varieties thus opening the chance to recover specific class of compounds. The data also confirmed the observation of recent studies about the interest in using the exhausted peels for anaerobic digestion.
