Lycopene Colorant
Lycopene is the main pigment in ripe tomatoes and is one of the common carotenoids found in tomatoes, tomato products, watermelon, grapefruit, etc. In 1989, MASCIO found that lycopene has the highest bursting activity against singlet oxygen of all carotenoids. Subsequently, functional studies on lycopene have become a major topic of interest, covering the absorption and metabolism of lycopene, the reduction of the risk of various tumors such as prostate cancer and cardiovascular diseases by lycopene, as well as methods for the extraction and determination of lycopene. Currently, lycopene has been widely used not only as a natural pigment, but also increasingly in functional foods, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.
