Lycopene is a member of the carotenoid family o fchemical substances. Lycopene,
similar to other carotenoids, is a naturalfat-solublepigment (red,inthecaseof
lycopene)found incertain plants and microorganisms, where it serves as an accessory
light-gathering pigment and to protect these organisms against the toxic effects of
oxygen and light. Lycopene may also protect humans against certain disorders, such
as prostate cancer and perhaps some other cancers, and coronary heart disease.
Carotenoids are the principal pigments responsible for the colors of vegetables and
fruits(see Beta-Carotene and Luteinand Zeaxanthin). Jianhe Biotech HIEFIE
Supply side show west Lycopene is responsible for th ered color of red tomatoes. In
addition to tomatoes(Lycopersiconesculentum)and tomato-based products, such as
ketchup, pizzasauce, tomatojuice and tomatopaste,lycopene is also found in
watermelon, papaya ,pink grape fruit and pinkguava. Processed tomato products are
more available dietary sources ofl ycopene than fresh tomatoes.The average daily
intake of lycopene is approximately 25 milligrams, with 50% of this in the form of
processed tomato products.
Lycopene is an acyclicisomer of beta-carotene. Beta-carotene,which contains
beta-iononering sateach end of the molecule,is formed in plants,including tomatoes,
via the action of the enzyme lycopenebeta-cyclase. Lycopeneisa 40carbonatom,
open chain poly is oprenoid with 11 conjugated double bonds.
