| dc.description.abstract | This research was aimed to study the effect of feed and solvent ratio (f/s),
antisolvent variety and solvent variety to the extraction of lycopene from tomato
(Lycopersicum esculentum) by using single solvent and antisolvent crystalization
method. The solvent that used was hexane and ethyl acetate and also methanol
and ethanol as the antisolvent. Observed variables was feed and solvent ratio (f/s)
by using hexane and ethyl acetate as the solvent in extraction process and also
using methanol and ethanol as the antisolvent in crystalization process. Tomatoes
was milled and then extracted. Antisolvent then added to the extract which was
obtained. The results show that the more feed and solvent ratio (f/s) the more
lycopene obtained. At the ratio of 1:4,5 with hexane as the solvent obtained the
highest lycopene yield were 2,7 mg/150 ml and 2,2 mg/150 ml. Whereas at the
ratio of 1:4,5 with ethyl acetate as the solvent obtained the highest lycopene yield
were 3,2 mg/150 ml dan 2,8 mg/150 ml. By using methanol as an antisolvent,
much lycopene would be obtained. By using ethyl acetate as a solvent, much
lycopene would be obtained. | en_US |
