Lycopene is a white to pale-yellow solid; balsam oriental aroma. Lycopene extract from tomato is a dark-red viscous liquid. It is freely soluble in ethyl acetate and n-hexane, partially soluble in ethanol and acetone, and insoluble in water. A solution in n-hexane shows an absorption maximum at approximately 472nm.
Lycopene (from the Greek word lykopersikon, meaning tomato) is a bright red carotene and carotenoid pigment. The natural resources are red fruits and vegetables, such as tomatoes, pink grapefruit, watermelon, and apricots. After absorbing from the stomach, lycopene is transported in the blood and accumulates in the liver, adrenal glands, and testes. Lycopene has been used to prevent carcinogenesis, cardiovascular diseases and aging.

From a chemistry perspective, lycopene is a symmetrical tetraterpene assembled from 8 isoprene units, containing 11 conjugated and 2 non-conjugated double bonds between carbon atoms. Lycopene is a member of the carotenoid family, and the predominant source in the human diet comes from tomato and tomato-based products. The antioxidant capacity of tomato strongly depends on the content and bioavailability of lycopene in the fruit. There is strong correlation between lycopene content in tomatoes and antioxidant capacity.

Lycopene is an open chain unsaturated carotenoid that gives tomatoes, guava, rose hip, watermelon and pink grapefruit its red color. Studies show that lycopene intake is significantly associated with lower risk of lung, colon and stomach carcinogenesis. It is an antioxidant.

Details

Lycopene, a non-provitamin A carotenoid, is found abundantly in tomatoes and processed tomato products and exhibits a strong antioxidant activity. Lycopene shows beneficial biological activities including antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidative, cardiovascular, and immunostimulating effects. In addition, it has been reported that tomatoes and tomato-based foods contain mainly all-trans-lycopene, but the blood serum lycopene is 60% cis-lycopene which may be more bioavailable.

Stability:

Lycopene is susceptible to chemical changes such as oxidation followed by degradation or isomerization when exposed to light, heat and oxygen. Lycopene present in tomato extract was shown to be stable under storage at 4℃ and room temperature when tested over a time period ranging from 18 to 37 months.

Stability:

Heat sensitive - store at -70 C. Combustible. Incompatible with strong oxidizing agents.
