Abstract: Technique of micro encapsulation in a wall material system consisting of compounds such as gelatin and sucrose byspray drying, and mass detection method of lycopene micro encapsulation were outlined. The studies showed that the stabilityof lycopene was increased by micro encapsulation. The addition of antioxidants was important for the stability of lycopene. Thegood micro encapsulation products of lycopene were salmon pink. The water-solubility, the fluidity and the stability of theproducts were all nice.

Key words: Lycopene, microencapsulation
