Lycopene Powder Usage and Synthesis.

Lycopene is a very important class of carotenoids, its scavenging single-linear oxygen (1O2) oxidation rate constant is 100 times that of vitamin E and twice that of β2 carotene.

Lycopene can effectively prevent prostate cancer, digestive tract cancer, cervical cancer, skin cancer and cardiovascular disease occurs, uterine cancer, lung cancer cells inhibitory effect is significantly higher than β2 carotene and α2 carotene. Moreover, lycopene is also a micronutrient in serum associated with aging diseases and can inhibit degenerative diseases associated with aging.

Lycopene is very strong in protecting lymphocytes from cell membrane damage or cell lethality caused by NO2 free radicals, and its ability to scavenge free radicals is stronger than that of other carotenoids. Lycopene, a red colouring agent in tomatoes, pink grapefruit and palm oil, is a straight-chain derivative of carotene with no vitamin A activity and is used as a food colouring agent.

Uses and functions of Lycopene.

Use: Use red colour pigment. Its oleoresin shouts 1%, is stable to heat and light, and has antioxidant ability and typical tomato flavour, in addition to being used in a variety of tomato products, it is also suitable for meat, soups, sauces, sweets, snack foods and pasta and so on.

An antioxidant micronutrient in tomatoes that has been associated with a reduced risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease.

Promotes cellular gap junction communication and inhibits cancer cell proliferation in culture through upregulation of gap junction protein 43 expression. Inhibits cholesterol synthesis and promotes LDL degradation.

Used in the prevention and treatment of prostate, breast and gastrointestinal cancers, as well as reducing the incidence of skin and bladder cancers, while also strengthening the body and achieving cosmetic benefits.

Edible red pigment. Used in tomato juice products.

Stability of Berberine.

(1) Lycopene is a functional natural pigment with strong physiological activity. Extracting lycopene from tomato peel can fully realise the comprehensive utilisation of resources, prevent environmental pollution and is economically feasible. For example, the by-products (tomato peel and tomato seeds) of the tomato paste factory waste can be utilised.

(2)Lycopene has good stability to heat, and better stability below 50℃.

(3)Acid on the stability of lycopene is not much damage, while the alkali has a greater impact, lycopene is more stable to acid.

(4) Reducing agent ascorbic acid is often used as an antioxidant in canned fruits, fruit juices, vegetables and other foods. However, it can also be a pro-oxidant under specific conditions.

It has been reported that ascorbic acid is pro-oxidant to carotene and linolenate systems at low concentrations, and this pro-oxidant effect may be related to the system in which ascorbic acid is present and the presence of oxygen and trace metal ions, therefore, in tomato products or in the use of lycopene, if ascorbic acid is to be added to the products, attention should be paid to the presence of metal ions, which may be pro-oxidant to ascorbic acid, and optimised to handle the situation by. In the use of ascorbic acid at the same time, add the necessary metal ion chelators and other phenolic antioxidants.

(5) acidifier citric acid on the stability of lycopene than acetic acid, this is because the acidity of citric acid is stronger than acetic acid, add equal concentrations of the two acids, the former is more able to reduce the pH of the solution, only when the pH of the solution is lower than a certain value, will have a significant impact on the stability of lycopene, therefore, in the production of tomato products or tomato red should pay attention to the control of pH value.

(6) Fe3+ and Cu2+ have a greater effect on the stability of lycopene, and other test metal ions have less effect on it.

(7) Lycopene is very unstable to light, especially in direct sunlight, the loss of a day that is complete, better preserved in the dark.

Product method of  Bulk Lycopene Powder.

It is generally isolated from the natural plant tomato (Lycoper-sicon solanaceae lanaceae) when mixed with carotene and dissolved in benzene containing 1 per cent ethanol. In case of petroleum ether solution, it can be obtained by adsorption of magnesium oxide. It can also be obtained by leaching with oil
