The consumption of Solalum Lycopersicum has increased in recent years and with it its production and the waste generated as a result of cultivation and processing. For this reason, the present work aims to evaluate and determine whether there are significant differences between the different methods of recovery of tomato by-products. The bibliographic review through which 52 articles published almost completely in the last five years were selected: twelve for the extraction of carotenoids, ten for the extraction of phenolic compounds, four for pectin and seven for the formation of biogas. The food valorization of tomato is wide and little studied yet. The extraction of phenolic compounds, pectin or lycopene offers a wide range of new possibilities. Emerging pretreatment methods such as high pressures, electrical pulses or supercritical CO2 open the possibility of improving the extraction of bioactive compounds and achieving a circular economy. It is concluded that further studies are needed to confirm and investigate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of emerging methods, which are generally the most efficient for the extraction of target compounds.
