Abstract

Extraction of Lycopene has received a lot of attention due to reports demonstrating Lycopene’s potential to decrease risk of cardiovascular diseases and chronic diseases such as prostate, lung and stomach cancer. Supercritical extraction is an environmentally friendly process to separate the carotenoid by using CO2 as solvent. This study was investigated for the influence of supercritical extraction parameter such as temperature, pressure, time, and CO2 flow rate on the extraction yield of lycopene and to find out optimum pressure employed for the isolation of lycopene. The extractions were conducted at pressure ranging from 200 to 550 bar (3000-8000 psi), temperature 600C and flow rate of SC-CO2 20 ml/min. During study, feasibility to extract lycopene from tomatoes skin has been developed. The samples of SFT-100 instrument at various pressure has been collected and analyzed. It was able to get yield of lycopene 91.4(mg/100gm) by spectrophotometry analysis from the obtained extract at 400 bar (6000 psi) pressure and 600C temperature.
