Dataset for the publication entitled "Obtaining carotenoid encapsulates with polysaccharides carriers after pilot scale accelerated solvent extraction and ultrasound-assisted extraction from industrial tomato by-product"

This study aimed to develop carotenoid and antioxidant-rich encapsulates by spray drying from industrial tomato by-products to enhance their techno-functional properties by using green extraction techniques at a pilot plant scale. Tomato pomace by-products (peels and seeds) can be a source of functional ingredients for the industry since they are nutritionally valuable compounds, mainly carotenoids. Ultrasound assisted extraction (USAE) and accelerated solvent extraction (ASE) can be highlighted as green techniques to extract key bioactive compounds. Encapsulation of biocompounds by polysaccharides as carries (maltodextrin, inulin and a mix of both (1:1)) and spray drying has been described as a good strategy to develop innovative functional foods. Comparative analyses were conducted to evaluate the nutritional value, carotenoid content, total phenolic content (TPC), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), and techno-functional properties of the extracts, and encapsulates.
