Objective
Limonene, a carotene present in tomato peel, has important properties as antioxidant, nutraceutical food and colouring, having raised great interest for its extraction. Currently, the extraction process is carried out using organic solvents, which reduces its use as nutraceutical and in pharmaceutical applications, as well as in the cosmetic and food industries. To solve this important problem, the project is addressed to define technical conditions for the application of Supercritical CO2, a process with significative advantages for the extraction of organic substances. The preparation of the raw material will also permit the extraction of dietetic fibre derived from the tomato peels. Every market asks for different characteristics of the products and thus for different extraction conditions. In this regard, the Exploratory Award is aimed at: Defining the markets: forecasts, prices and technical characteristics. Defining equipment and suppliers for the pilot Plant intended to be set up and according to the technical processes to comply with the markets requirements. Searching for new partners, potentially in the final users markets, and Establishing the work packages and tasks for carrying out CRAFT Project's Phase II The project
