1, tomato pulp extraction method (plant extraction method)
Technology: First, Xinjiang high-quality tomatoes are selected, pulped and crushed to make raw juice tomato paste, and the skin, seeds, fibers and other residues are removed, and then natural lycopene is extracted through scientific extraction technology.
(Lycopene was extracted by single organic solvent extraction, crystallization and separation process independently developed by Acer truncatum Bunge, and obtained relevant national patent projects. )
Raw material: tomato pulp
Advantages: the product is of good quality, high quality, all-natural, with many isomers and natural activity, which is irreplaceable by other processes.
Disadvantages: complex process, high cost and long extraction period.
Tip: Ten tons of tomatoes can only extract about 40 kilograms of lycopene in ten days.
2. Supercritical CO2 method (plant extraction method)
Technology: Using CO2 as extractant, lycopene was extracted from tomato skin residue, and its effective components were separated and purified.
Raw material: tomato skin residue
Tips: Pesticides are generally attached to the epidermis of fruits, and it is difficult to clean them. Whether there are pesticide residues is very important.
3. Chemical synthesis
Process: Lycopene was synthesized by a series of chemical reactions using chemical molecular formula.
Advantages: simple process and low cost.
Disadvantages: the poor quality of the product and the odor will increase the metabolic burden of human renal function.
4. Microbial fermentation method
Process: Lycopene is produced by fermentation of algae, fungi and yeast, which is similar to cell excretion.
Advantages: low cost, fast cycle and bright color.
Disadvantages: there is an odor, and the impact on the human body is currently uncertain!
Summary:
Lycopene extracted from tomato pulp contains many isomers and has natural activity, which is irreplaceable by other extraction processes. Pure natural lycopene has no toxic and side effects on human body, and is suitable for long-term use with good effect.
