Lycopersicum esculentum-Lycopene Powder /HPLC
Product Details
Lycopene is an unsaturated olefin compound, is the main pigment in mature tomato, is also one of the common carotenoids. Lycopene does not have the β -Zhi aromatic cone ring structure of β -carotene, so it cannot be transformed into vitamin A in the body and does not belong to provitamin A. The formula C40H56 with multiple cis-trans isomers. Lycopene is a lipid-soluble substance, poorly soluble in water, methanol, ethanol, soluble in diethyl ether, petroleum ether, hexane, acetone, easily soluble in chloroform, carbon disulfide, benzene and other organic solvents. There are 11 conjugated double bonds and 2 non-conjugated double bonds in lycopene molecules, so their stability is very poor and prone to cis-trans isomeric reaction and oxidative degradation. Factors affecting the stability of lycopene include oxygen, light, heat, acids, metal ions, oxidants and antioxidants. Lycopene, a highly promising carotenoid compound, cannot be synthesized in the body on its own and must be obtained through dietary and other supplements.Its main effects include lowering blood pressure, treating high blood cholesterol and high blood lipids, and lowering cancer cells with more significant efficacy.Therefore, it is often used as a pigment in food processing or as a raw material for antioxidant health food.
Function: it has the function of enhancing oxidative stress ability, anti-inflammation, protecting cardiovascular and blood vessels, protecting skin and enhancing immunity.

Product Advantage
1. Anti-oxidation, delay aging, enhance immunity, regulate blood lipid, etc.
2. The long-chain polyunsaturated olefin molecular structure of lycopene makes it have a strong ability to eliminate free radicals and resist oxidation. Current research on its biological role has mainly focused on antioxidant resistance, reducing cardiovascular disease risk, reducing genetic damage, and inhibiting tumor occurrence and development.
