HA10866 Lycopene Powder

Lycopene Powder Description

Lycopene Powder is a carotenoid pigment primarily obtained from natural sources and refined into a fine powder, suitable for incorporation into food and nutraceutical formulations. Its uniform particle size aids in accurate dosing and consistent product performance. Quality control employs chromatographic methods and microscopical analysis to monitor the compound's purity and composition, supporting its technical application in formulation development.

Lycopene Powder Applications

1.       Healthcare Applications
   - Used as an antioxidant component in dietary supplements to mitigate oxidative stress by utilising its concentrated carotenoid composition. Enhances formulation consistency through precise dosing.
   - Applied as an ingredient in nutraceutical capsules to contribute to heart health by reducing free radical effects.

2.       Food & Beverage Applications
   - Employed as a natural colourant in beverages to achieve desired visual characteristics by using its intense red pigment. Offers consistency in colour and composition.
   - Used in food processing as a health-promoting additive to improve nutritional value via its antioxidant activity.

3.       Cosmetics Applications
   - Integrated into skincare formulations as an active ingredient to counteract free radical damage by virtue of its potent antioxidant effect. Supports product efficacy in reducing signs of ageing.

Lycopene Powder Packing

Lycopene Powder is packaged in sealed, moisture-proof containers with an inner lining of inert materials that limit oxygen exposure and light penetration. The packaging format incorporates anti-static measures and is designed to minimise contamination risks during storage and shipping. Options for batch-specific customisation, including varied container sizes and labelling, are available. Store in a cool, dry area to maintain stability.

Additional Information

Carotenoids, such as lycopene, represent a class of phytochemicals that have garnered attention in scientific studies for their antioxidant properties. The refinement process for botanical extracts requires precise control of temperature and solvent conditions to preserve bioactive compounds. As research continues to explore the biochemical roles of these molecules, technical methods for their extraction and characterisation remain critical.

Recent advancements in analytical chemistry have improved the detection limits for trace compounds in complex mixtures. These improvements support more accurate quantification and quality monitoring in botanical extraction processes, aiding the integration of such powders into various industrial and research applications.
