What is Lycopene?
Lycopene, a carotenoid present in plant foods, is also a red pigment. It is a deep red needle-like crystal, soluble in chloroform, benzene and oil but insoluble in water. It is unstable to light and oxygen, and turns brown when it meets iron. Molecular formula C40H56, relative molecular mass 536.85. It can be used as pigment in food processing, and also used as raw material of antioxidant health food, and has been increasingly used in functional food, medicine and cosmetics. Neither humans nor animals can produce lycopene on their own, so the main ways of preparation are plant extraction, chemical synthesis and microbial fermentation.
Benefits of Lycopene:
Antioxidants play a vital role in our body by preventing damage caused by free radicals, which are unstable molecules that can damage cells and contribute to the development of chronic diseases.
There are numerous health benefits associated with lycopene consumption, some of which are highlighted below:
Reducing the Risk of Chronic Diseases
Studies have shown that regular intake of lycopene-rich foods can help reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer and diabetes. Lycopene has been shown to help prevent harmful LDL cholesterol from oxidizing, which can lead to the buildup of plaque in the arteries and increase the risk of heart disease. Additionally, lycopene has been found to have anti-cancer properties due to its ability to protect cells from damage and inhibit the growth of cancerous cells.
Supporting Eye Health
Lycopene has been found to play a role in supporting eye health by protecting against age-related macular degeneration, cataracts and other vision impairments. Its antioxidant properties help to protect the eye’s lens and promote healthy vision.
Protecting Skin Health
Lycopene has been found to help protect skin from sun damage by reducing inflammation and preventing oxidative stress. Sun damage is one of the primary causes of premature aging and skin cancer, and lycopene can help to prevent these conditions by neutralizing free radicals caused by sun exposure.
Improving Male Fertility
Studies have found that lycopene has beneficial effects on male fertility by improving sperm quality and count. This is due to its antioxidant properties, which protect sperm from oxidative damage and improve motility.
