ES61-CHERRY4FOOD/CHERR

Valorization of cherry tomato by-products for the development of new functional ingredients for animal and human food.

Description

Use of cherry tomato by products.

Sector

A1.6Support activities to agriculture and post-harvest crop activities

Needs/ Problem statement

There is a need for the processing industries of tomato products (gazpacho and salmorejo) to utilise the by-products generated in the process.

Objective

Transform and valorise the by-product generated during the production of salmorejo and gazpacho (cherry tomato seeds and skin) as new functional ingredients in powder form for the production of ruminant feed and healthy innovative foods.
