Lycopene is a food-grade natural red carotenoid pigment found in tomatoes and other red fruits, used as a food colourant and powerful antioxidant dietary supplement.We supply bulk Lycopene sourced from leading China manufacturers, available in powder, pellet and oil forms to meet global food industry demand. Our Lycopene is widely used in natural red food colouring, dietary antioxidant supplements, tomato-based product colour standardisation, dairy colouring and skincare antioxidant.
Lycopene is the red carotenoid pigment responsible for the colour of tomatoes, watermelon, pink grapefruit and guava. It is the most potent singlet-oxygen quencher among carotenoids (2× more than beta-carotene).
Commercially produced by extraction from tomatoes or synthesis/fermentation. Unlike other carotenoids, lycopene has no pro-vitamin A activity but is extensively researched for prostate health, cardiovascular and skin protection benefits.
