Abstract: The extraction conditions of lycopene with edible oil,such as solvent kinds,ratio of meal to water,temperature and time were investigated through single factor test,and the extraction regression equation was obtained through response surface methodology(RSM) . The optimum technological conditions are determined as:soybean oil as extraction solvent temperature 34.8 ℃,time 20 h,and ratio of meal to water 1:3.8. Under these conditions,the predictive extraction rate of lycopene is 55.45μg/ml.

Key words: lycopene, extraction process, single factor, response surface methodology(RSM)
