Lycopene is a natural red open-chain hydrocarbon carotenoid and also a natural pigment. Naturally extracted lycopene has an all-trans structure, which is soluble in oils but insoluble in water. After being metabolized by digestive enzymes in the body, it becomes a cis structure that is soluble in water and has a strong antioxidant effect. Neither humans nor animals can produce lycopene, the current preparation methods of KingSci Biotechnology are mainly natural extraction and microbial fermentation. As a functional natural pigment, lycopene has physiological functions such as preventing various cancers, protecting cardiovascular and cerebrovascular, protecting skin, improving immunity and so on. It can be used as a pigment in food and also as the main raw material for antioxidant health products.
The extraction and processing of natural lycopene are not easy. It mainly uses the tomato skins and seeds of the tomato paste factory as raw materials, and passes through the six processes of fermentation, washing, separation, grinding, drying, and crushing to make tomato skin powder. The lycopene oleoresin is extracted through professional technology, and finally processed into lycopene powder and oil products in accordance with relevant specifications.
Lycopene is the main product of KingSci Bio, after years of research and development and improvement, we currently produce and trade two specifications of products: Supercritical CO2 extraction, Organic solvent extraction (natural lycopene), Microbial fermentation of lycopene.
* Supercritical CO2 Extraction Method: pure natural, no solvent residue influence. In addition, the content is up to 10%, and the cost has risen accordingly.
* Organic solvent extraction method: low cost, easy to operate; there will be traces of solvent residues, and within a controllable range.
* Microbial fermentation method: mild conditions, short extraction time, more suitable for the extraction of lycopene, which is easily oxidized and degraded. Up to 96% content.
