Natural Lycopene is the red, acyclic C40 carotenoid all-trans-lycopene (psi,psi-carotene; CAS 502-65-8, C40H56), extracted from the ripe fruit of the tomato. Its conjugated polyene backbone carries no terminal ionone rings, setting it apart from the ring-closed carotenes of the same molecular formula, and it is a lipophilic, oil-soluble pigment. This grade is recovered by extraction of tomato into an oleoresin standardized to roughly 5-15% total lycopene in oil, and is also supplied as cold-water-dispersible beadlet powders. It differs from the synthetic and Blakeslea trispora fermentation grades, which are the identical molecule, in being a plant-extracted oleoresin rather than a chemically assembled or fermentation-derived concentrate, and it typically carries a lower stated assay than the fermentative grade. We manufacture it in softgels, capsules, tablets, powders and liquids.
