Lycopene, a carotenoid found in plant foods, dark red needle-like crystals, soluble in chloroform, benzene and fats, but not in water. Lycopene - Tomato Extract Powder can be used as a pigment in food processing, and is also often used as a raw material for antioxidant health foods.
The long-chain polyunsaturated olefin molecular structure of Lycopene - Tomato Extract Powder endows it with strong ability to eliminate free radicals and antioxidant capacity. At present, research on its biological effects mainly focuses on antioxidant, reducing cardiovascular disease risk, reducing genetic damage, and inhibiting tumor occurrence and development.

FUNCTION
Enhance the body's oxidative stress capacity and anti-inflammatory effects
Oxidative damage is considered one of the main causes of increased incidence of cancer and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. The in vitro antioxidant capacity of lycopene has been confirmed by many experiments. The ability of lycopene to quench singlet oxygen is more than twice that of the commonly used antioxidant β - carotene and 100 times that of vitamin E.
Protecting cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health
Lycopene can deeply remove vascular debris, regulate plasma cholesterol concentration, protect low-density lipoprotein (LDL) from oxidation, repair and perfect oxidized cells, promote intercellular glial formation, and enhance vascular flexibility. A survey study shows that serum lycopene concentration is negatively correlated with the incidence of cerebral infarction and cerebral hemorrhage. The study of lycopene against atherosclerosis in rabbits showed that lycopene could effectively reduce the levels of serum total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in rabbits, and its effect was equivalent to that of fluvastatin sodium. Another study has shown that lycopene has a protective effect on local cerebral ischemia, mainly by inhibiting the activity of glial cells through antioxidant and free radical scavenging effects, and reducing the area of cerebral perfusion injury.
Protect the skin
Lycopene also has functions such as reducing skin damage from radiation or ultraviolet (UV) rays. When UV is irradiated on the skin, lycopene in the skin binds with free radicals generated by UV, protecting skin tissue from damage. Compared with skin without UV irradiation, lycopene is reduced by 31% to 46%, while the content of other components remains almost unchanged. Studies have shown that consuming foods rich in lycopene can counteract UV radiation and prevent redness caused by UV exposure. Lycopene can also quench free radicals in epidermal cells and has a significant fading effect on senile pigmentation.
Develop immunity from disease
Lycopene can activate immune cells, protect phagocytic cells from oxidative damage, promote T and B lymphocyte proliferation, stimulate the function of effector T cells, promote the production of certain interleukins, and inhibit the production of inflammatory mediators. Research has found that moderate doses of lycopene capsules can enhance the body's immune system and reduce the damage caused by acute exercise to the immune system.
APPLICATION
1. Health products and sports supplements
2. Cosmetics, lycopene moisturizing lotion, etc., have whitening and anti-aging effects
3. Application in meat products, can be used as preservative and coloring agent for meat products
4. Application in edible oil, adding it to edible oil can alleviate oil deterioration
Supercritical carbon dioxide extraction process flow:
fresh red tomato raw material → pulping → pressing and filtering → vacuum drying → crushing → sieving → weighing → loading extraction tank, sealing → controlling suitable working parameters → static and dynamic extraction → depressurizing separation → obtaining tomatoes from the separation column Red pigment → product quality inspection
