Lycopene CAS 502-65-8

Product name: Lycopene Molecular Formula: C40H56 Molecular Weight: 536.873 CAS No.: 502-65-8 Description Lycopene is a red to reddish brown crystal powder. It is a fat-soluble pigment, soluble in other lipids and non-polar solvents, soluble in aliphatic hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons and chlorinated hydrocarbons such as ethane, benzene and chloroform, insoluble in water, strong polar solvents such as methanol, ethanol, etc. Application Biological function Lycopene has a strong ability to eliminate free radicals and antioxidant. At present, the research on its biological effects mainly focuses on antioxidation, reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease, reducing genetic damage and inhibiting the occurrence and development of tumor. 1) Enhancing the ability of oxidative stress and anti inflammation：The antioxidant effect of lycopene is more than 2 times of that of β - carotene and 100 times of that of vitamin E. 2) Protect the heart and brain vessels：Lycopene can remove vascular garbage, regulate plasma cholesterol concentration, protect low density lipoprotein (LDL) from oxidation, and enhance vascular flexibility. 3) Protect your skin：Lycopene can also reduce skin damage caused by radiation or ultraviolet (UV). 4) Enhance immunity：Lycopene can improve human immunity and reduce the damage of acute exercise to human immunity. Application of Lycopene 1) Health products and sports supplements: It is mainly used for anti-oxidation, anti-aging, enhancing immunity, regulating blood lipid and so on. 2) Cosmetics：It has the effect of anti-oxidation, anti allergy and whitening. 3) Food and beverage： -Application in meat products: Lycopene can be used as preservative and colorant of meat products. -Application in edible oil: Lycopene has superior physiological function and strong antioxidant activity, can effectively quench singlet oxygen and scavenge free radicals, inhibit lipid peroxidation. Therefore, adding it to edible oil can alleviate the deterioration of oil. 4) Other applications: Lycopene, as a potential carotenoid compound, can not be synthesized in human body by itself. It must be obtained through diet and other supplements. Lycopene can be used as a nutritional supplement to maintain human health.
