Tomato seed oil has variability in color and scent of different lots, depending on the tomato seed variety. This product ranges in color from free flowing dark amber-gold colored oil to reds and oranges. Scent can be characteristic, but varies in intensity. The seeds have been given renewed attention as there is pressure to utilize the waste products of tomato processing, in which seeds are the largest component. In Greece, over a million tons of tomatoes are processed each year and the resulting quantity of seeds might be used to produce up to 2000 tons of oil. The oil from Greek seeds has been extracted by using ether as a solvent. When analyzed, it was found to contain a high proportion of unsaturated fatty acids, especially linoleic acid. Tomato seed oil, extracted from the seeds of tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum), is a lightweight, nutrient-rich oil packed with antioxidants, essential fatty acids, and vitamins. It has various applications in skincare, haircare, and overall wellness.
