Health Product Powder suppliers Food grade lycopene, lycopin, lycoypene.
Food grade Lycopene is a kind of carotene and red pigment in plant foods. Lycopene is a dark red needle like crystal, soluble in chloroform, benzene and oil but insoluble in water. It has no physiological activity of vitamin A, but has strong antioxidant function. The content of mature red plant fruits is higher, especially in tomato, carrot, watermelon, papaya and guava. It can be used as pigment in food processing and also as raw material of antioxidant health food.
Food grade Lycopene is widely found in tomatoes, tomato products, watermelon, grapefruit and other fruits. Lycopene is the main pigment in mature tomatoes and one of the common carotenoids. Lycopene has the highest quenching activity for singlet oxygen among all carotenoids. Lycopene can reduce the risk of prostate cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Lycopene has not only been widely used as a natural pigment, but also more and more used in functional food, medicine and cosmetics.
Food grade Lycopene has a long-chain polyunsaturated olefin molecular structure, which has strong free radical elimination ability and antioxidant ability.
Enhancing the ability of oxidative stress and anti inflammation
Oxidative damage is considered to be one of the main reasons for the increased incidence of cancer and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. The antioxidant capacity of lycopene in vitro has been confirmed by many experiments, and the ability of lycopene to quench singlet oxygen is a commonly used antioxidant 尾- More than twice as much as carotene and 100 times as much as vitamin E.
Protect cardio cerebral vessels
Lycopene can deeply remove vascular garbage, regulate plasma cholesterol concentration, protect low-density lipoprotein (LDL) from oxidation, repair and perfect oxidized cells, promote the formation of intercellular glia, and enhance vascular flexibility. Serum lycopene concentration was negatively correlated with the incidence of cerebral infarction and cerebral hemorrhage. Lycopene has a protective effect on local cerebral ischemia. It mainly inhibits the activity of glial cells through antioxidant and scavenging free radicals, and reduces the area of cerebral perfusion injury.
Protect skin
Lycopene also has the function of reducing skin damage by radiation or ultraviolet (UV). Lycopene can also quench the free radicals in epidermal cells, and has an obvious fading effect on senile color spots.
Develop immunity from disease
Lycopene can activate immune cells, protect phagocytes from oxidative damage, promote the production of some interleukin and inhibit the production of inflammatory mediators. Lycopene can improve the immunity of human body and reduce the damage of acute exercise to the immunity of human body.
From 2003 to 2010, 418 new products containing lycopene were launched worldwide. These p
