Lycopene is a natural, red carotenoid pigment that belongs to the tetraterpene family of organic compounds. It is found in many red and pink fruits and vegetables and is responsible for their vibrant colors. Lycopene’s diverse applications range from promoting health to enhancing the quality and appearance of food, as well as offering protection in skincare and cosmetics.
Properties:
Lycopene is found mainly in tomatoes, grapefruit, watermelon, and pink guava. It is a powerful quencher of singlet oxygen, being 100 times more efficient than Vitamin E in an in-vitro study. This color offers a broad range of red shades and can be used as a nutrient for food, dietary supplements, and pharmaceutical products.
