Lycopene Powder: A Natural Carotenoid for Food, Nutrition Applications
Lycopene is a naturally occurring, fat-soluble carotenoid found in various plant-based foods; it is one of the primary natural pigments responsible for 
the vibrant red color of ripe tomatoes, watermelons, and pink grapefruits. As a common plant-derived carotenoid, lycopene possesses potent antioxidant properties and interacts with oxidative processes involving free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS), making it a subject of significant interest in the food, nutrition, and functional formulation sectors.
Lycopene powder is typically derived from tomatoes and related plant sources and is suitable for use in dietary supplements, nutritional foods, beverages, and other functional formulations. Although lycopene belongs to the carotene family, it differs from some other carotenoids in that it does not possess provitamin A activity. Thanks to its natural red color and fat-soluble nature, lycopene offers value both as a nutritional ingredient and as a natural colorant.
During product development, factors such as purity, concentration, stability, solubility/dispersibility, and application format influence the performance of the final formulation. We offer tailored lycopene powder solutions for various application scenarios, catering to brands, formulation developers, nutraceutical manufacturers, and food ingredient purchasers.

Stability
(1) Lycopene is a functional natural pigment with potent physiological activity. Extracting lycopene from tomato peels enables the comprehensive utilization of resources, prevents environmental pollution, and is economically viable.
(2) Lycopene exhibits excellent thermal stability, remaining relatively stable at temperatures below 50°C.
(3) Acid has little detrimental effect on the stability of lycopene, whereas alkali has a significant impact; lycopene is relatively stable in acidic environments.
(4) Citric acid (an acidulant) has a greater impact on lycopene stability than acetic acid because citric acid is stronger; at equal concentrations, citric acid lowers the solution's pH more effectively. Significant effects on lycopene stability occur only when the pH drops below a certain threshold; therefore, pH control is crucial during the production of tomato products or lycopene.
(5) Fe³⁺ and Cu²⁺ significantly affect the stability of lycopene, whereas other metal ions tested have a minimal impact.
(6) Lycopene is highly unstable when exposed to light; notably, it degrades completely within a single day under direct sunlight, whereas it remains stable when stored in the dark.
Product Application
Lycopene is a natural carotenoid with potent antioxidant properties, widely used in sectors such as food, healthcare products, and cosmetics. Its specific applications are as follows:
1. Food Processing and Beverage Industry
- Natural Colorant: As a safe natural pigment (INS No. 160d), it is widely used in beverages (tomato juice, fruit-flavored drinks), dairy products (yogurt, cheese), confectionery, baked goods (bread, cereals), and sauces (ketchup) to impart a vibrant red color.
- Food Preservation: Leveraging its strong antioxidant properties, it serves as a preservative and colorant for meat products (e.g., sausages, ham), delaying oxidative discoloration and partially replacing chemical preservatives (such as nitrites); it is also used in edible oils to inhibit oxidative deterioration.

2. Healthcare Products Industry
- Health Supplements: Used as an ingredient for antioxidant support, anti-aging, immune system enhancement, and blood lipid regulation (lowering lipids and blood pressure), it is widely incorporated into dietary supplements such as softgels and tablets. It is suitable for individuals with "three highs" (high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high blood lipids), those with compromised immunity, and the middle-aged and elderly.
3. Cosmetics Industry
- Skincare and Anti-Aging: Harnessing its antioxidant and free-radical scavenging capabilities, it is used in anti-aging skincare products (e.g., serums, creams, facial masks) to delay skin aging, reduce wrinkles and pigmentation, and brighten the complexion.
- Sun Protection and Repair: Used in sunscreens and after-sun repair products, it helps mitigate UV-induced skin damage, reduce UV-induced erythema (redness), and repair damaged skin cells.
