Article Synopsis
- - The processing of tomatoes for products like puree, ketchup, and sauces creates a lot of waste known as tomato pomace, which mainly consists of seeds and skin.
- - Tomato seeds are rich in beneficial compounds, including proteins, carotenoids, and vitamins, making them promising for new food and health products.
- - Utilizing these bioactive compounds can not only enhance the economic viability of the tomato industry but also help reduce environmental waste associated with tomato processing.
In order to exploit industrial discards, protein enzymatic hydrolysis is a currently popular methodology for obtaining bioactive peptides. However, once released, most promising peptides have to be selected from the mixture. In this work, the suitability of pepsin (EC 3.

In this study, serum albumin was hydrolysed with trypsin after several heat treatments and using different enzyme concentrations. The degree of hydrolysis reached and the peptide sequences released over time were evaluated.
