Tomato Extract Lycopene

ISO/Halal/Kosher Certified | Bulk Orders Available | Advanced Extraction Technology

Why are global cardiovascular health, men's health, and softgel/functional beverage companies seeking suppliers of "high trans-exchange, zero-excretion" tomato extract lycopene powder? Lycopene is a natural antioxidant that protects low-density lipoprotein (LDL) from oxidation by scavenging free radicals and quenching singlet oxygen. Shaanxi Hongda selects ripe, non-GMO tomato juice and meticulously extracts high-quality lycopene. The entire extraction process uses no solvents, ensuring that the lycopene content is precisely controlled between 5% and 98% (HPLC method). We offer more than just color; we provide lycopene with extremely high antioxidant activity. For solid beverage and tablet development, we use modified food starch and gelatin to micro-encapsulate lycopene at the nanoscale.

Our tomato extract is ideal for nutritional supplements, functional foods, and dietary supplements. With an annual production capacity exceeding 10,000 tons, our products meet the legal standards of major global markets, ensuring your products receive the best antioxidant components. Clinical studies have confirmed that our lycopene is beneficial for heart health and can regulate skin health. Tomato extract powder is ideal for producing health drinks, snacks, or dietary supplements. Our products fully comply with international standards, such as Halal/Kosher certification and ISO 9001 certification. You can completely trust our products.

Advantages of Shaanxi Hongda Lycopene:

1. Extremely High Content of the All-Trans Isomer: Shaanxi Hongda utilizes a patented low-temperature, light-protected extraction technology to maximize the preservation of the all-trans isomer. This form has demonstrated 5-7 times higher bioactivity than ordinary tomato powder in clinical trials targeting prostate health and vascular endothelial repair.

2. Exclusive Lipid Nanotechnology: We have developed a microencapsulated CWS (cold water dispersible) specification, which can rapidly form a uniform and stable red emulsion in cold water, overcoming the technical barriers of "layering and fading" found in high-end sports drinks and oral liquid formulations.

3. 100% Natural Source: We provide a Carbon-14 isotope identification report, guaranteeing 100% extraction from fresh tomatoes and absolutely no addition of petrochemical synthetic lycopene.

4. Low-temperature physical stability of the oil phase: After being stored at a constant temperature of 4℃ for 15 days, there is no visible microcrystal aggregation or bottom residue precipitation. In large-scale industrial production, there is zero clogging of the filling pump, and the finished soft capsules show zero oil leakage and zero peeling/sand holes.

5. Strategic Price Protection and Capacity Lock-in: We maintain a stock of 5 tons of high-purity raw materials in our core warehouse in Xi'an and 20 tons in our European warehouse, promising 48-hour express shipping to help you maintain a competitive edge during raw material crises.

How to Maximize Lycopene Benefits

Eating lycopene bulk powder in its natural condition is the best way to get the most out of it. This makes it easier for the body to use. When you cook tomatoes, lycopene comes out more readily. Adding some healthy fat, such olive oil or avocado, could also assist. Eating tomato-based meals with healthy fats may help your body utilize lycopene better.

Lycopene Production Process

1. Physical cold pulping and efficient separation of peel and pulp from mature, non-GMO, non-production-variety ripe tomatoes: Selected ripe red tomatoes are rapidly mechanically pulped in a fully cold water nitrogen-filled environment. The cell walls of the lycopene-rich peel are broken down using a high-efficiency centrifugal sieve, and primary solid-liquid separation is performed between the pulp and large pieces of water.

2. High-speed room-temperature vacuum dehydration and retention of lycopene porous soft extract: The separated rich-colored tomato peel and pulp are pumped into a continuous flash vacuum concentrator, where excess tissue moisture is rapidly removed at a low temperature of 45℃, producing a low-oxygen porous soft tomato extract with a moisture content of less than 8%.

3. Dynamic forced countercurrent organic solvent composite extraction using a fully enclosed, light-proof, nitrogen-filled jacket: The extract is placed in a fully enclosed, explosion-proof extraction tank, and high-purity nitrogen is introduced to purge air. Gentle dynamic countercurrent extraction is performed using a pharmaceutical-grade ethyl acetate and n-hexane composite solvent.

4. Multi-stage precision filtration membrane retention and chromatographic removal of trace pesticide residues and heavy metal impurities: The extract is passed through a ceramic ultrafiltration membrane system with a pore size of 0.22 microns, utilizing molecular weight differences to completely and physically retain trace pesticide residues, heavy metal particles, and insoluble macromolecular pectin that may be carried by field crops.

5. Ultra-low pressure continuous high-volume thin-film evaporation and extreme physical removal of organic solvents: The clarified extract enters a scraped-film evaporator, where solvents are rapidly removed under an extremely high vacuum of 0.096 MPa and an ultra-short heating time, ensuring that the lycopene core structure does not undergo thermal discoloration or degradation.

6. Addition of a natural mixed tocopherol antioxidant matrix and blending with ultra-high pressure jet homogenization oil phase: High-purity soybean-derived natural vitamin E is mixed into the solvent-free pure lycopene crystals and combined with an edible-grade unsaturated vegetable oil carrier. The mixture is then pumped into an 800 bar ultra-high pressure homogenizer to break down the microcrystalline chains, producing a homogeneous suspension oil with zero precipitation.

7. High-speed shearing homogeneous composite of aqueous hydrophilic colloidal microcapsules and interfacial polymer shell encapsulation: For powder production, the above oil phase is injected into an aqueous colloid containing sodium octenyl succinate starch and maltodextrin, and emulsified using a high-shear mill at 10,000 rpm, allowing the hydrophilic matrix to completely encapsulate each lycopene microcrystal.

8. Microcentrifugation, large-volume low-temperature co-flow spray drying, and fluidized bed secondary granulation and crystallization: The emulsion is sent to a high-tower spray dryer, where it is instantly dehydrated using a mild outlet air temperature. It then directly enters the fluidized bed at the bottom of the tower for spray granulation, crystallizing into microcapsule particles with excellent cold water self-cooling properties (CWD).

9. Large-scale packaging in a Class 100,000 fully enclosed, light-proof, nitrogen-filled, vacuum-sealed, light-proof aluminum foil drum: In a strictly light-proof, nitrogen-filled, and humidity-controlled clean operating room, the finished oil or powder is quickly filled into steel drums lined with double-layer light-proof, vacuum-sealed aluminum foil bags and sealed, completely locking in the shelf life.
