Overview
Lycopene, a potent carotenoid and red pigment, is naturally present in plant-based foods such as tomatoes, watermelon, and grapefruit. It exists as dark red acicular crystals, soluble in chloroform, benzene, and lipids but insoluble in water. Sensitive to light and oxygen, lycopene may brown upon contact with iron. As the primary pigment in ripe tomatoes and a key carotenoid, it combines vibrant coloration with powerful bioactive properties, making it ideal for diverse industrial applications.
