EXTRACTION OF THE CAROTENOID LYCOPENE FROM CHONTO TOMATO (<I>Lycopersicum esculentum</I>)

Lycopene, to which tomato owes its red coloration, besides presenting great properties like colorant, is a powerful antioxidant that helps to combat degenerative diseases. Due to the importance that has been given to lycopene, because of its properties, in this investigation both steam-dragging and...
