    In vitro culture laboratories are key tools for the mass propagation of plants; however, they generate large amounts of waste rich in agar, nutrients, and growth regulators that, despite their agronomic potential, are typically discarded as biological waste. In response to this issue, the present study aims to evaluate the use of in vitro culture waste as a potential liquid fertilizer for kidney tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) and tree tomato (Solanum betaceum) To this end, agar waste from micropropagation processes was collected, treated, diluted, sterilized, and packaged to produce the liquid fertilizer. Subsequently, its composition was characterized using photometry, a technique that quantifies chemical compounds through absorbance measurement, and its effect on plants was evaluated under greenhouse conditions. The analysis revealed high concentrations of phosphorus, sulfur in the form of sulfates, manganese, and zinc compared to commercial fertilizers. Additionally, treated seeds and plants exhibited higher germination percentages, greater numbers of true leaves, uniform leaf growth, and improved root development. These results demonstrate the significant potential of in vitro culture waste as a sustainable alternative for plant nutrition, offering a viable and ecological option for agricultural waste management. Furthermore, the reuse of these wastes not only reduces their environmental impact but also contributes to the development of more sustainable agricultural practices.

    Currently, the increase in food waste has reached alarming figures, amounting to 3.4 billion tons, due to the growth of the world population. Faced with this global challenge, new alternatives have been explored, among which the reuse of tomato tree peels stands out for its significant content of carotenoids, compounds known for their ability to prevent different diseases. In this study, carotenoids were extracted by the solvent method, mainly using 96 percent ethanol, due to its superior yields, while in the quantification of carotenoids were 0.40 to 0.50 mg/L. Subsequently, the concentrated extract was microencapsulated with maltodextrin and gum arabic, highly soluble and biocompatible polymers, achieving efficiencies above 90 percent. Carr's index of 20 percent and Hausner's index of 1.25 indicate uniformity and firmness in the capsule formulation. The evaluation of antioxidant activity showed percentages of 88.29 for the extract, 28.54 in the microencapsulates and 32.98 for the initial formulation, gradually decreasing with time. Finally, physical parameters were evaluated, including visual inspection that confirmed the external stability of the capsules. Over time, a gradual increase in weight was noted, while the disintegration time exhibited a decreasing trend, attributable to environmental factors such as humidity and agglomeration. Likewise, the shelf life of the hard gelatin capsules was determined, with a value of 5 months and 43 days.

    Currently, a large amount of agro-industrial waste (peels) of tree tomatoes is generated. The peels contain compounds of interest such as carotenoids, which are a source of provitamin A and have antioxidant activity. For this reason, their study has increased to treat different conditions. Three batches of extract were made with a concentration of 0.62 milligrams per liter and the extraction efficiency was 16.84 milligrams per kilogram. The microencapsulation was prepared with concentrated extract, polymers and distilled water using the mini–Spray Dryer equipment. The microencapsulation efficiency was 95 percent, and the yield percentage was 64.87. The physicochemical characterization of the extract was carried out for 15 days, using a moisture balance, the TSS was between 1.90 and 1.43 percent, pH was 4.63 and carotene concentration was between 0.56 and 0.66 milligrams per liter. The characterization of the microencapsulates was evaluated for 30 days for three batches generated, having a pH of 4.29 and a moisture percentage of less than 3. The antioxidant activity yielded values of 40.03 and 38 percent inhibition of DPPH of the extract and the microencapsulates, respectively, equivalent to 223.09 and 211.836 micro mol per liter of Trolox. The predicted shelf life was 37 days for the extracts and 74 days for the microencapsulates. The present research extracted carotenoids from agroindustrial wastes and preserved them using microencapsulation, performing physicochemical characterization tests to verify the stability of both.

    Microencapsulated lycopene was obtained industrially, which was extracted from tree tomato residues, the extraction was carried out in 96 percent ethanol, at 55 degrees Celsius for 60 minutes. Subsequently the spray drying method was used to prepare the microencapsulation by mixing gum arabic and maltodextrin. As a result, were obtaining, a concentration of lycopene for each kilogram of plant material of 43.78 mg for batch 1; 45.20 mg for batch 2 and 43.22 mg for batch 3. Regarding the microencapsulation efficiency, respectively for each lot, 93.61, 90.44 and 96.78 percent, were reached. In addition, of microencapsulated lycopene, a formulation design was carried out in hard gelatin capsules format zero, finding better results with 8 mg of aerosil, 20 mg of sodium starch glycolate, 22 mg of microcrystalline cellulose and 350 mg of microencapsulated for an average weight, per capsule, of 412.92 mg and a disintegration time of 9.09 minutes.

    In Ecuador, the study of the climate is a complicated subject because there are few records, especially in remote areas where it is known that there are negative effects of Climate Change, however, they have not been quantified, creating uncertainty by not having information for a analysis of future consequences and makes it difficult to implement actions to combat the effects of the climate. Pests and diseases in crops, the increase in temperature, water scarcity and the variation of rainfall are the impacts that affect agricultural production and the availability of food. To determine the impact of the Climate Change Scenarios in Ecuador on the production of blackberry (Rubus ulmifolius), tree tomato (Solanum betaceum), corn (Zea mays), and potato (Solanum tuberosum) in the province of Tungurahua was used The GAMS software, with the use of linear programming and based on databases, surveys and information collected, provided data on the future consequences of the studied crops as a result. With the analysis of each result on the incidence of water scarcity aggravated by Climate Change, it is established that the only crop that would be able to resist this change by 2050 would be corn, which could generate an increase in prices of The crops forging problems for the Food Security of Ecuador by not having enough resources to maintain production and supply the population.
