Lycopene CAS 502-65-8 is a very important class of carotenoids, and its oxidation rate constant for scavenging singlet oxygen (1O2) is 100 times that of vitamin E, which is β Two times the amount of carotene. Lycopene can effectively prevent the occurrence of prostate cancer, digestive tract cancer, cervical cancer, skin cancer, and cardiovascular diseases, and has a significantly higher inhibitory effect on uterine cancer and lung cancer cells β 2 Carotenoids and α 2 carotenoids. Moreover, lycopene is also a micronutrient related to aging diseases in the serum, which can inhibit degenerative diseases related to aging. Lycopene has a strong ability to protect lymphocytes from cell membrane damage or cell death caused by NO2 free radicals, and its ability to scavenge free radicals is also stronger than other carotenoids. Lycopene is a red colorant found in tomatoes, pink grapefruit, and palm oil. It is a straight chain derivative of carotene and has no vitamin A activity. It is used as an edible colorant.
