2. Introduction
Lycopene is a bright red carotenoid and carotenoid pigment and phytochemical, mainly found in the mature fruit of Solanaceae tomato, which is one of the strongest antioxidants found in plants in nature. Science proves that singlet oxygen and oxygen free radicals in the human body are the main culprit in the body's own immune system. Lycopene scavenging free radicals is far more effective than other carotenoids and vitamin e, which can effectively prevent aging and immunity. Various diseases caused by the decline in force.
Lycopene is mainly found in tomatoes. It is native to South America. It is widely cultivated in north and south China after it flows into China. It is an annual herb that contains vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, and carotene and calcium and phosphorus. Various elements such as potassium, magnesium, iron, zinc, copper and iodine also contain proteins, sugars, organic acids and cellulose

4. Application
A.Anti-oxidation and skin whitening
Lycopene quenches singlet oxygen or captures peroxidic free radicals by physical and chemical means. Singlet oxygen is a highly active oxygen free radical that is toxic to cells. Lycopene can destroy oxidized free radicals in various ways, and has a protective effect on mitochondrial cell membranes in cells, thus achieving whitening and anti-oxidation purpose
B.Affect cell communication and inhibit tumor production
Usually, the membrane composed of membrane proteins between cells has selective permeability and regulates the normal proliferation and differentiation of cells. Experiments have shown that lycopene regulates tumor growth by inducing intercellular linkages, enhancing communication between normal cells, controlling cell growth, and inducing cell differentiation.
C. Health effects
The biological properties of lycopene determine its antioxidant properties, inhibit mutations, reduce nucleic acid damage, reduce cardiovascular disease and prevent cancer.
4.Application Of Lycopene
As a cosmetic raw material:Selecting the best tomato, extracting lycopene, the antioxidant and whitening effect of lycopene is remarkable, adding it to cosmetics can achieve good whitening and anti-oxidation
