Ultrasound-Extracted Lycopene in Whole-Spirulina-Stabilized Submicron Emulsions: Formulation, Stability, and Retention
Tomato-processing residues present a viable secondary source of lycopene; however, the hydrophobic nature and chemical instability of this carotenoid limit its direct integration into aqueous products. This study employed ultrasound-assisted extraction to obtain a lycopene-rich extract from tomato by-products, subseque...
