Lycopene, a carotene found in plant foods, is also a red pigment. Dark red needle crystal, soluble in chloroform, benzene and grease but insoluble in water. Unstable to light and oxygen, turns brown in contact with iron. Molecular formula C40H56, relative molecular weight 536.85. There are 11 conjugated double bonds and 2 non-conjugated double bonds in the molecular structure, which constitute a straight chain hydrocarbon. It has no physiological activity of vitamin A, but has strong antioxidant function. High content in ripe red fruits, especially in tomato, carrot, watermelon, papaya and guava.

FUNCTION BANNER.jpg

1) Enhance the oxidative stress ability of the body and anti-inflammatory effect

Oxidative damage is considered to be one of the main causes of increased incidence of cancer and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. The antioxidant ability of lycopene in vitro has been confirmed by many experiments. The ability of lycopene to quench singlet oxygen is more than 2 times that of β-carotene and 100 times that of vitamin E.

2) Protect cardiovascular and cerebrovascular

Lycopene can deeply remove vascular waste, regulate plasma cholesterol levels, protect low-density lipoprotein (LDL) from oxidation, repair and perfect oxidized cells, promote intercellular glial formation, and enhance vascular flexibility.

3) Protect your skin

Lycopene also reduces the skin's exposure to radiation and ultraviolet (UV) rays. Studies have shown that regular intake of foods rich in lycopene can combat UV, avoid UV exposure to produce erythema. Lycopene can also quench the free radicals in epidermal cells and has obvious fading effect on aged spots.

4) Boost immunity

Lycopene can activate immune cells, protect phagocytes from oxidative damage, promote the proliferation of T and B lymphocytes, stimulate the function of effector T cells, promote the production of certain interleukins and inhibit the generation of inflammatory mediators. Studies have found that medium doses of lycopene capsules, can improve human immunity, reduce the acute exercise to the body immunity damage.

Its application in dairy products not only keeps the nutrition of dairy products but also enriches their health function.

4) Application in meat products

Lycopene has strong antioxidant ability and good physiological function. It can be used as a preservative and colorant for meat products. In addition, the acidity of tomato products rich in lycopene will reduce the pH value of meat, which will inhibit the growth of spoilage microorganisms to a certain extent. Therefore, it can be used as antiseptic and fresh-keeping agent of meat food, and play a role of partial replacement of nitrite.

5) Application in edible oil

Lycopene has superior physiological function and strong antioxidant activity, which can effectively quench singlet oxygen, scavenge free radicals and inhibit lipid peroxidation. Therefore, it can be added to edible oil to alleviate the deterioration of oil.
