What to Know About Lycopene?
Lycopene is a fat-soluble carotenoid having antioxidant action. Unlike many carotenoids, it is not converted to Vitamin A in the human body, hence its job relies on antioxidant function. Research on lycopene is continuing, and any claim on a final product should follow the rules of your target market.
Because lycopene is fat-soluble, it is absorbed best with dietary fat. This is one reason oil-based and softgel formulations are common choices. Its rich red hue can also impact the look of a finished product, therefore prodduct should be tested in your own base before scale-up.
Lycopene is the pigment that gives tomatoes their red color. Watermelon, guava and pink grapefruit are also sources. Tomato products such as sauces are among the richest sources of food. Cooked tomato products usually contain more accessible lycopene than raw. If you would like to know where the raw material for your grade comes from please contact us.
