Product Description
Lycopene Red Carotenoid Ingredient for Oils and Emulsified Food Formulas
Ingredient profile
Red Coloring and oil dispersion define the formulation focus of Lycopene. Lycopene is a natural red carotenoid pigment obtained from Solanum lycopersicum (tomato) and other sources, valued both as a colorant and as an antioxidant nutrient.
Formulation characteristics
- Deep Red Coloring with High Color Value Delivers a rich red to red-orange shade in oil-based and emulsified systems, with strong coloring power at very low dosage.
- Antioxidant Activity As a carotenoid it quenches singlet oxygen and scavenges free radicals, contributing antioxidant protection to the formulation matrix.
- Heat-Stable in Oil Systems Shows good thermal stability in oil and emulsified products and maintains its color through conventional processing.
- For Lycopene, the practical comparison is between red coloring and the expected oil dispersion result in the same recipe. Review red to red-orange carotenoid pigment alongside the intended use. A sample trial should record appearance, mixing behaviour and stability through the planned process. The useful acceptance criteria depend on the finished formulation rather than on a powder photograph alone.
- The source describes the following presentation choices: oil suspension, emulsion and microencapsulated powder described. Specify the requested composition and physical form in the purchasing specification. For a product intended for sauces, evaluate compatibility with the other ingredients and with the actual storage conditions. The ingredient name is only the starting point of that comparison.
Applications
The application examples include sauces, dairy products, confectionery, edible oils and supplement formats. The relevant preparation should be selected for the intended matrix rather than assuming every described form is interchangeable.
Ingredient details

|---|---|
| Primary formulation role | Red Coloring |
| Formulation property | Red to red-orange carotenoid pigment |

Handling and storage
As a fat-soluble pigment, lycopene requires emulsification or an oil carrier for use in aqueous systems; verify homogeneity and stability in the final formulation.
Store in a cool, dry and sealed place, away from direct sunlight, heat and oxygen to prevent oxidation and isomerization.
