Lycopene, a prominent carotenoid found in tomatoes, watermelon, and grapefruit, is the main pigment in ripe tomatoes. Discovered in 1989 by MASCIO to have the highest singlet oxygen quenching activity among carotenoids, it has since been extensively studied for its absorption, metabolism, and potential in reducing cancer and cardiovascular risks. Lycopene is widely used as a natural pigment and in functional foods, drugs, and cosmetics.
GreenHerb Biological Technology Co., Ltd provides high-quality food-grade lycopene powder. This deep red, needle-shaped crystal is soluble in chloroform, benzene, and oils, but insoluble in water. Sensitive to light and oxygen, it can turn brown when exposed to iron. With a molecular formula of C40H56 and a molecular weight of 536.85, it features 11 conjugated and 2 non-conjugated double bonds. Although it does not exhibit vitamin A activity, lycopene is a potent antioxidant, useful as a food pigment and in antioxidant health products.
Microbial Fermentation Method
This method leverages the biosynthesis of the filamentous fungus Trichosporon. The unique metabolic process of this strain can be enhanced by adding plant oils, surfactants, antioxidants, and various structural analogues. By adjusting growth conditions and adding fermentation promoters, the yield of carotenoids can be improved. Additionally, altering these conditions and adding specific additives can inhibit the growth of Streptomyces trisporus, which is involved in the carotenoid biosynthesis pathway, thereby promoting the accumulation of lycopene.
Chemical Solvent Extraction
This method exploits the liposolubility of lycopene by extracting it with organic solvents such as petroleum ether, ethyl acetate, and chloroform, followed by high-temperature distillation to remove the solvent. However, this process risks solvent residue and may destroy other beneficial vitamins and trace elements due to the high temperatures.
Supercritical Extraction
Supercritical extraction utilizes the high solubility of lycopene in supercritical CO2. Conducted at critical temperature and pressure, this method is pollution-free, natural, and safe. It effectively retains plant sterols, carotenoids, natural phospholipids, and vitamin E, with antioxidant components working synergistically to produce excellent results.
1. Antioxidant and Oxidative Stress Capacity
The long-chain polyunsaturated olefin structure of lycopene grants it a strong ability to neutralize free radicals and resist oxidation. Research highlights its key biological effects, including its potent antioxidant properties, potential in reducing cardiovascular disease risk, mitigating genetic damage, and inhibiting tumor development. Lycopene's in vitro antioxidant capacity has been confirmed through numerous studies. It is known to quench singlet oxygen more than twice as effectively as β-carotene and 100 times more effectively than vitamin E.
2. Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Protection
Lycopene plays a significant role in protecting cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems. It helps remove vascular debris, regulate plasma cholesterol levels, protect low-density lipoprotein (LDL) from oxidation, and repair oxidized cells. Additionally, it promotes the formation of intercellular glial cells and enhances vascular flexibility. Epidemiological studies indicate a negative correlation between serum lycopene levels and the incidence of cerebral infarction and hemorrhage. Experimental research on rabbits has shown that lycopene effectively reduces serum total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), and LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) to levels comparable to those achieved with fluvastatin sodium. Moreover, lycopene protects against local cerebral ischemia by inhibiting glial cell activity through its antioxidant and free radical scavenging effects, thereby reducing cerebral perfusion injury.
3. Skin Protection
Lycopene also offers protective benefits for the skin by reducing radiation and ultraviolet (UV) damage. When UV exposure occurs, lycopene in the skin binds to free radicals generated by UV radiation, thereby shielding skin tissues from harm. Compared to unexposed skin, lycopene levels in UV-exposed skin decrease by 31% to 46%, while other skin components remain relatively unchanged. Research indicates that consuming lycopene-rich foods can help combat UV radiation and prevent UV-induced redness. Additionally, lycopene can neutralize free radicals in epidermal cells, significantly reducing age-related pigmentation.
4. Immune System Enhancement
Lycopene contributes to immune system health by activating immune cells, protecting phagocytes from oxidative damage, promoting T and B lymphocyte proliferation, stimulating effector T cell function, and encouraging the production of certain interleukins while inhibiting inflammatory mediators. Studies have shown that moderate intake of lycopene supplements can enhance immune function and mitigate immune system damage caused by acute exercise.
According to Mintel's Global New Product Database (GNPD), 418 new lycopene-containing products were launched globally between 2003 and 2010, spanning food, supplements, and cosmetics. Supplements are the most prevalent category.
Lycopene’s strong antioxidant properties make it a valuable alternative to nitrites in meat preservation. It helps maintain meat color and flavor, inhibits spoilage microorganisms, and lowers pH to extend shelf life, reducing the need for chemical preservatives.
Lycopene's potent antioxidant properties prevent oxidative deterioration in edible oils. By scavenging free radicals and preventing lipid peroxidation, lycopene enhances oil stability and safety, addressing concerns over synthetic antioxidants.
Lycopene, a vital carotenoid not synthesized by the human body, must be acquired through diet. Leading companies like Ly-cored Natural Products Industries Ltd., Henkel, and Makhtshim have developed lycopene-based products for various health benefits, including lowering blood pressure and cholesterol, and reducing cancer cell growth. In China, there is limited reporting on lycopene’s use in food and pharmaceuticals.
Lycopene's versatility extends to functional foods and dietary supplements, including antioxidant health capsules and Tonic Diet cans, often combined with other medicinal plants for enhanced health benefits.
