Product Descriptions

Lycopene Powder, a carotenoid found in plant foods, is also a red pigment. Dark red acicular crystal, soluble in chloroform, benzene and grease but insoluble in water. Unstable to light and oxygen, turns brown in the presence of iron.

Molecular formula C40H56, relative molecular mass 536.85. The molecular structure has 11 conjugated double bonds and 2 unconjugated double bonds, constituting a straight chain type hydrocarbon. There is no physiological activity of vitamin A, but it has strong antioxidant function. The content is higher in the fruits of mature red plants, especially in tomatoes, carrots, watermelon, papaya and guava. It can be used as a pigment in food processing and is also commonly used as a raw material for antioxidant health food.

It is a cost-effective option since the fungus can be mass-cultivated in controlled environments. Additionally, this form of lycopene powder can have a higher concentration of lycopene, offering a more potent supplement.

Chemical Property

1. Stability

The lycopene molecule has 11 conjugate double bonds and 2 non-conjugated double bonds, so the stability of lycopene is relatively poor, and cis-trans isomerization and oxidative degradation can occur under certain conditions. Lycopene is sensitive to oxidation, and after 12 hours of sunlight exposure, lycopene in the solution is basically lost. Fe3+ and Cu2+ in the solution will catalyze the photooxidation reaction of lycopene, while other metal ions such as K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Zn2+, etc., have little impact on it, so the use of iron and copper containers should be avoided in the extraction and application process of natural lycopene. pH value also has an effect on lycopene. When lycopene is dissolved with ethanol and adjusted to pH value 1 ~ 14, the results show that lycopene is unstable to acid and stable to base, so lycopene is not suitable for acidic drinks when used as a pigment. It can be seen that the factors affecting the stability of lycopene are aerobic, light, metal ion pH, etc., so the extraction, storage, processing and analysis of lycopene should be carried out under the condition of controlling environmental factors.

2. Color rendering power

Bulk Lycopene Powder as a natural red pigment, how to maintain its strongest coloring power is crucial. The lycopene in tomato fruit exists in two states: most of it is in the form of slender, needle-like crystals in colored bodies that are bright red. When lycopene crystals form, the plastid membrane disappears and pigment crystals are freely dispersed in protoplasm. When observed under microscope, small granular colored bodies can be seen, indicating the color of colored bodies. A small fraction (about 10 percent) forms complexes with proteins and is present in cells. Lycopene has different colors and intensities when it exists in different forms, and it will show different colors with different solvents and media. For example, lycopene dissolved in petroleum ethers is yellow and in carbon disulfide it is red.

3. solubility

Lycopene is a fat-soluble pigment, soluble in other lipids and non-polar solvents, insoluble in water, insoluble in strong polar solvents such as methanol, ethanol, etc., soluble in aliphatic hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons and chlorinated hydrocarbons such as ethane, benzene, chloroform and other organic solvents. The solubility of lycopene in various solvents increases with the increase of temperature, but the more pure the sample is, the more difficult it is to dissolve. Crystallized lycopene dissolves slowly and tends to form a supersaturated state, although increasing the temperature can accelerate its dissolution, but crystallization may occur when it is cooled, and ultrasound can be used to accelerate its dissolution. Pure lycopene, although insoluble in water, has a high solubility when it combines with certain substances such as proteins to form complexes.

Production Details

The extraction and processing of natural lycopene are not easy. It mainly uses the tomato skins and seeds of the tomato paste factory as raw materials and passes through the six processes of fermentation, washing, separation, grinding, drying, and crushing to make tomato skin powder. The lycopene oleoresin is extracted through professional technology and finally processed into lycopene powder and oil products in accordance with relevant specifications.

Lycopene is one of our main products, after years of research development and improvement, we currently produce and trade specifications of products: Supercritical CO2 extraction, Organic solvent extraction (natural lycopene), and Microbial fermentation of lycopene.

1) Supercritical CO2 Extraction Method: pure natural, no solvent residue influence. In addition, the content is up to 10%, and the cost has risen accordingly.

2) Organic solvent extraction method: low cost, easy to operate; there will be traces of solvent residues and within a controllable range.

3) Microbial fermentation method: mild conditions, short extraction time, more suitable for the extraction of lycopene, which is easily oxidized and degraded. Up to 96% content.

Functions

1.Oxidation Resistance

"The carotenoid (carotenoid) pigment in which lycopene is concentrated is believed to have an antioxidant effect on the lyioxident effect. The antioxidant effect of lyioxident is a powerful antioxidant is β-carotene which is more abundant than vitamin E and 100 times as much as possible. Due to this antioxidant effect, lycopene can effectively prevent various diseases.

2. regulation of metabolism

Lycopene is the most effective element for scavenging free radicals in the body, maintaining normal cell metabolism, and preventing aging. Lycopene is absorbed into the blood and lymph through the digestive tract mucosa and distributed to the testes, adrenal glands, breasts, lungs, lungs, lungs, lungs, and various mucosal tissues of the body, promoting the secretion of hormones in the glands, thus maintaining the vitality of the human body; Eliminating free radicals in these organs and tissues, protecting them from damage, and enhancing the body's immune system.

3. regular blood lipids

Lycopene is a cholesterol-lowering agent that inhibits 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A in macrophages for cholesterol biosynthesis. Experiments have shown that adding lycopene to the medium for macrophages reduces their cholesterol synthesis, while lycopene also increases the activity of lipoprotein (LDL) receptors. Experiments have also shown that adding 60 mg of lycopene daily for three months can reduce the concentration of cytoplasmic LDL cholesterol by 14%.

4. Anti-Cancer

Lycopene may help treat many diseases and reduce the risk of certain cancers. Lycopene helps eliminate toxins, reduce cell damage, and fight harmful substances that turn normal cells into cancer cells. Lycopene may also protect healthy cells and slow the progression of disease.

5. Health Care

Lycopene is essential for eye health and can protect the eyes from oxidative stress, which can cause damage to eye health and lead to various eye diseases. Lycopene may prevent or delay cataracts and slow the progression of macular degeneration, which can lead to blindness in older patients.

6. UV radiation resistance

Lycopene may help protect against UV damage. Related experiments showed that researchers exposed 10 healthy people to 28 mg of carotene per day for 1-2 months, causing people to develop skin cancer in people taking lycopene. 

7. Lycopene exists in a large number of mucosal tissues in the body, and long-term use can improve various discomfort caused by the destruction of mucosal tissues in the body. Such as dry cough, dry eyes, mouth ulcer, protect gastrointestinal mucosal tissue.

8. Lycopene also has a strong hangover effect. Alcohol metabolism in the human body is mainly REDOX reaction, will produce a large number of free radicals. Usually take lycopene, can increase the amount of alcohol; Take before drinking, the effect of alcohol is significant, can reduce alcohol damage to the liver; And drunk after taking, can reduce headaches, vomiting and other drunken symptoms.

9. Lycopene also has a variety of physiological functions such as preventing osteoporosis, lowering blood pressure, and alleviating exercise-induced asthma.

10. Lycopene has no side effects and is very suitable for long-term health care.

11. Lycopene can help prevent and improve urinary system diseases such as prostatic hyperplasia and prostatitis, and help improve male sperm quality and reduce the risk of infertility. A study from Harvard University in the United States found that carotenoids and prostate cancer have a certain relationship. In the study of carotenoids, only lycopene has a clear protective effect. Men who took the highest daily dose of lycopene in their diet (6.5 mg or more per day) reduced their risk of developing prostate cancer by 21 percent compared with those who took the lowest.
