Our product line includes Lycopene Powder (5-20%), Lycopene Oil (20%), Beadlets (5-10%), CWS Powder (5-10%), and Crystalline Lycopene (80-90%), all standardized by HPLC for guaranteed purity .

2. Advanced Extraction and Quality Control

2.1 Green Extraction Technology

Our lycopene extraction employs an edible oil-based method, a patented eco-friendly process that minimizes chemical solvent use while maximizing yield . This aligns with global demand for sustainable and safe production practices.

2.2 HPLC Analytical Validation

Lycopene content is rigorously quantified using Shimadzu LC-10AI HPLC systems with SPD-M20A detectors . The methodology includes:

• Column: ODS C18 (4.6×250 mm, 5 µm) 
• Mobile Phase: Acetone-water gradient (80-95% acetone over 26 minutes) 
• Detection Wavelength: 472 nm for optimal lycopene identification 
• Purity Threshold: >95% isomer specificity confirmed via mass spectrometry 

This ensures batch-to-batch consistency and compliance with pharmacopeial standards.

3. Health Benefits of Lycopene

3.1 Antioxidant and Anti-Aging Effects

Lycopene neutralizes free radicals with an ORAC value exceeding vitamin E, reducing oxidative stress linked to aging and chronic diseases . Clinical studies show improved skin elasticity when used in topical formulations .

3.2 Cardiovascular Support

Regular intake correlates with reduced LDL oxidation and improved endothelial function, lowering cardiovascular risk .

3.3 Photoprotection

Lycopene absorbs UV radiation, mitigating skin damage when applied in sunscreens or oral supplements .
