Abstract: A simplified method based on the UV spectrum differences of lycopene andβ-carotene for quantitative analysis of lycopene is established,with chloroform as the solvent and the absorbent peak 518.8nm as index,so as to avoid the interference of other carotenoids.

Key words: lycopene, UV-visible method, quantitative analysis
