What do you mean by "commercial extraction"?

Do you want to purify lycopene or simply extract a fraction containing (all) lycopin from the sample?

Daniele Carullo

In the literature you may find different articles related to the extraction of lycopene from both tomato paste and peels. Authors suggest to apply "green" solvents for extracting it, which have also higher yields with respect to the most commonly used hexane-acetone-ethanol (50%-25%-25%). One of the most used is ethyl acetate.

Commercial extraction is bulk extraction in Tons quantity, and cheaper method via solvents
