lycopene

Application: Lycopene is the most potent antioxidants among natural extracts. Dietary intake of tomatoes and tomato products containing lycopene has been shown to be associated with a decreased risk of chronic diseases, such as cancer and cardiovascular disease. Appearance: Lycopene Oleoresin:Red Viscous Liquid Lycopene Powder:Dry Reddish Brown Powder Odour:Typical Flavor Lycopene produced with different craft:There are four different ways in producing lycopene with different biology efficacy in present market:1,syntheticLycopene produced by this method has different product structure from the one extracted naturally, and due to the organic solvent residual it’s biological function is far below the one extracted naturally.2,organic solvent extractionLycopene produced by this method can’t totally retain other nutrition constituent except lycopene in tomatoes, and due to the organic solvent residual can’t be resolved fundamentally, it’s biological function and safety is affected.3,CO2-supercritical fluid extractionLycopene produced by this method totally retain the nutrition constituent in tomatoes. No organic solvent residual is used during this production, and this makes lycopene higher biological function and safety.4, fermentationLycopene produced by this method can’t totally retain other nutrition constituent except lycopene in tomatoes, and due to the organic solvent residual can’t be resolved fundamentally, it’s biological function and safety is affected.
