What is Lycopene Extract Powder?
The natural plant-based ingredient Lycopene Extract Powder originates primarily from ripe tomatoes via state-of-the-art extraction procedures before the final purification process steps. The reddish-colored powder exists as a fine material because of its high content, which is a well-known antioxidant carotenoid. It serves as an essential component in dietary supplements and functional foods and beverages, and cosmetics because it supports wellness functions as well as protection against free radical-induced oxidative stress. The carotenoid compound known as lycopene forms part of the pigment family found naturally in various red and orange-colored fruits and vegetables. Tomatoes provide the highest levels, which are engineered into diverse formulations through powder form while maintaining their bioavailability characteristics and stability properties. This extract fits well for clean-label production because it satisfies gluten-free standards, and it matches vegan requirements as well as being non-GMO.

Source
The main supplier of Lycopene originates from ripe red tomatoes because these are acknowledged as providing the highest volume of Natural Lycopene content. The Extraction requires modern separation methods such as supercritical CO₂ extraction or solvent extraction to obtain a concentrated lycopene solution, which maintains its original antioxidant properties. The selected tomatoes go through refined processing procedures in controlled environments to protect their pure substance and preservation of active ingredients, together with stability maintenance. Other than tomatoes, which serve as the primary source due to their abundance, some manufacturers also use watermelon along with pink grapefruit and guava, but tomatoes represent the most reliable option for their accessible production.
Process
1. Raw Material Selection
Select tomatoes with high lycopene content that are extracted from special cultivation varieties in their ripe state.
2. Cleaning and Crushing
The cleaning procedure starts with a complete washing of the tomatoes to eliminate contaminants, followed by tissue tissue-breaking operation which produces pulp.
3. Separation of Skin and Seeds
The processed mixture produces two fractions after it separates tomato skins with seeds as the main source of concentrated lycopene.
4. Solvent Extraction
Food-grade organic solvents like hexane or ethanol are used to soak the skin and pulp, which then extract it from the mixture.
5. Filtration
The filtering process solves in high lycopene concentration after removing all solid impurities through separation.
6. Solvent Removal
Shallow temperature-controlled vacuum pressure evaporates the solvent until it produces a concentrated lycopene extract without subjecting it to heat damage.
7. Drying
The concentrated extract should be dried using either spray drying or vacuum drying to produce a fine powder form.
8. Standardization and Packaging
The prepared powder gets standardized to precise amounts, such as 5%, 10%, before being placed into sealed light-resistant packages, which maintain shelf durability and stability.
Specifications of Kingsci
Lycopene Powder from Kingsci exists at various specifications ranging from 1% to 5%, up to 6% and 10% and 20%, and 90%, as well as 95% and 98%, and all values are tested by HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography). The diverse lycopene concentrations allow the product to suit various applications, ranging from dietary supplements to functional foods and cosmetics, and pharmaceutical formulating needs. The use of 1% to 10% concentrations suits general nutritional uses, but advanced formulations benefit the most from high-purity 90% to 98%. The production of specifications is subject to systematic quality control systems, resulting in steady product characteristics alongside adherence to international norms.
