Research Progress in Physiological Functions and Stability of Lycopene

Abstract

Abstract: As a natural pigment, lycopene has a variety of physiological activities. Currently, lycopene is a hot research point in the functional food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic fields and others. However, lycopene has a special unsaturated structure and poor stability so that it is easy to degrade and isomerize, which reveals the limitation of lycopene. In this paper, basic properties, physiological functions and stability of lycopene are summarized. Meanwhile, some methods for providing lycopene stability are also proposed with the aim of provide useful information for the application of lycopene.

Key words: lycopene, basic properties, source, physiological function, stability
