Valorization of Tomato Processing by-Products: Fatty Acid Extraction and Production of Bio-Based Materials
A method consisting of the alkaline hydrolysis of tomato pomace by-products has been optimized to obtain a mixture of unsaturated and polyhydroxylated fatty acids as well as a non-hydrolysable secondary residue. Reaction rates and the activation energy of the hydrolysis were calculated to reduce cos...
