Product description: Part:Fruit Appearance:Dark red powder Herb Sourse:Tomato Molecular formula:C40H56 Molecular Weight:536.8726 CAS No.：502-65-8 Specification:98% Lycopene Realm of Application:Phramaceutical&Food Field Main Function: 1.Lycopeneoil is a bright red carotenoid pigment and phytochemical found in tomatoes and other red fruits.In plants, algae, and other photosynthetic organisms, lycopene is an important intermediate in the biosynthesis of many carotenoids, including beta carotene, responsible for yellow, orange or red pigmentation, photosynthesis, and photo-protection. Structurally, it is a tetraterpene assembled from eight isoprene units, composed entirely of carbon and hydrogen, and is insoluble in water; 2.Lycopene's eleven conjugated double bonds give it its deep red color and are responsible for its antioxidant activity. Due to its strong color and non-toxicity, lycopene is a useful food coloring; 3.Lycopene is commonly found in the diet, mainly from dishes prepared with tomato sauce. When absorbed from the stomach, lycopene is transported in the blood by various lipoproteins and accumulates in the liver, adrenal glands, and testes; 4.Because preliminary research has shown an inverse correlation between consumption of tomatoes and cancer risk, lycopene has been considered a potential agent for prevention of some types of cancers, particularly prostate cancer; Packing 1kg/bag,25kg/drum,Double PE. bags inside,Paper drum outside,aluminum foil vacuum bag or according to your demand; Shelf life:Two years when properly stored.
