SUMMARY:

The growing demand for nutritionally rich foods linked to the need to reuse waste generated
in food production is an agenda that has been gaining strength in recent years. This work will
use residues from the processing of Rama Forte persimmon to obtain carotenoid rich extracts
to be used as natural colorants. Ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) will be evaluated, which
has advantages over conventional solid-liquid extraction, less time and energy operations,
resulting in lower cost. UAE process will be carried out with two different solvents, a
hydroalcoholic solution and sunflower oil. The obtained extracts will be incorporated into
different food matrices as an alternative to synthetic dyes. Total carotenoid content,
carotenoid profile, antioxidant activity, instrumental color analysis and stability study will be
evaluated. As results, it is expected to obtain a rich carotenoid extract to be used as a natural
colorant in the developing new products with greater added value.
