Tomato Extract

Latin Name: Lycopersicum Esculentum

Description: Lycopene product is extracted from non-polluted quality tomatoes using advanced production process. It is powder of antioxidation processed by the international up-to-date microcapsule embedding technology, possessing the properties of stable content and long validity. Varieties of specifications are available.
Lycopene has what is known as the all-trans configuration in fresh tomatoes. Applying heat to tomatoes causes isomerization of the all-trans configuration to a form called cis-trans. Cis-trans isomers, which are more bioavailable than all-trans isomers, increase with temperature and processing time. As a result, processed tomato products have higher levels of Lycopene and Lycopene bioavailability than fresh tomatoes.
