Lycopene is a member of the carotenoid family of chemical substances. Lycopene, similar to other carotenoids, is a natural fat-soluble pigment (red, in the case of lycopene) found in certain plants and microorganisms, wher it serves as an accessory light-gathering pigment and to protect these organisms against the toxic effects of oxygen and light. Lycopene may also protect humans against certain disorders, such as prostate cancer and perhaps some other cancers, and coronary heart disease.
Carotenoids are the principal pigments responsible for the colors of vegetables and fruits (see Beta-Carotene and Lutein and Zeaxanthin). Lycopene is responsible for the red color of red tomatoes. In addition to tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum) and tomato-based products, such as ketchup, pizza sauce, tomato juice and tomato paste, lycopene is also found in watermelon, papaya, pink grapefruit and pink guava. Processed tomato products are more available dietary sources of lycopene than fresh tomatoes. The average daily intake of lycopene is approximately 25 milligrams, with 50% of this in the form of processed tomato products.

产品知识：番茄红素是ψ(psi)—胡萝卜素，属于异戊二烯类化合物，是类胡萝卜素的一种，人体自身不能合成类胡萝卜素，必须通过外界摄入；但类胡萝卜素在许多 植物中含量较低，并且很难用化学方法合成，主要是通过生物合成方式完成.目前只有以色列和中国掌握了番茄红素开发和研究技术。
工艺介绍：番茄红素的生产工艺主要有三类：
1.化学合成法，优点：成本低，生产工艺简单。缺点：含有大量合成番茄红素，不利于长期服用且含有无法脱离的化学残留。
2.生物合成（酶法和发酵法）优点：成本低，速度快，工艺简单。缺点：含溶剂残留。
3.co2超临界流体技术萃取。优点：物理提取，无化学残留和溶剂残留，纯度高。缺点：生产成本高，提取工艺复杂，目前只有少数企业掌握。
贮存：效期遮光、密封保存
