Lycopene Source:
Lycopene is widely present in tomatoes, tomato products, and fruits such as watermelon and grapefruit. It is the main pigment in mature tomatoes and one of the common carotenoids. In 1989, MASCIO discovered that lycopene had the highest quenching activity for singlet oxygen among all carotenoids. Subsequently, the study of the function of lycopene became a hot topic, involving the absorption and metabolism of lycopene, the reduction of the risk of various tumors such as prostate cancer and cardiovascular diseases by lycopene, as well as the extraction and determination methods of lycopene. At present, lycopene has not only been widely used as a natural pigment, but also increasingly applied in functional foods, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.
