Lycopene

Fermented lycopene refers to lycopene produced via microbial fermentation, primarily using the fungus Blakeslea trispora,This process is a common industrial method that offers advantages over traditional extraction from tomatoes, such as consistent purity and sustainable production.Unlike tomato-sourced lycopene, fermented lycopene is produced via microorganisms (like Blakeslea trispora or engineered yeast), a "zero-solvent" process that guarantees a consistent all-trans lycopene content without seasonal crop variations

 3,Feature and Application

 Fermented Lycopene is pesticide-free & non-GMO, produced via microbial fermentation without relying on tomato crops, free from soil & climate-related contaminants.

• Purity ≥95%, cis-isomer ratio ≥40% – 2x higher bioavailability than traditional extracted lycopene, easier to be absorbed by human body.

• Year-round stable production, not affected by tomato planting seasons, shorter lead time for bulk orders.

• Technical Stability Claims

• Anti-oxidation, anti-aging
• Improve body immunity
• Improve male prostate function and improve male fertility
• Regulate blood lipids and prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases
• Skin care, Reduce harmful from UV radiation
•  ldeal nutrition colorant for food &beverage

Application

• Food and Beverages: Used as a natural red coloring agent (INS No. 160d) in products like sauces, yogurts, nutritional drinks, and snacks.
• Dietary Supplements: Marketed for its antioxidant benefits and potential to support cardiovascular health, immune function, and skin health.
• Cosmetics & Pharmaceuticals: Utilized for its anti-aging and protective properties against UV damage.
• Animal Feed: Incorporated into pet and animal feed for its pigment and nutritional value

5,Product Qualification
About Naturale Biopharma – 20 years’ expertise in plant extracts, GMP facility, serving 300+ clients worldwide.Naturale Biopharma  production of lycopene through fermentation typically involves co-culturing two mating types of the fungus Blakeslea trispora in a controlled environment. Fermentation is an aerobic, submerged culture process that involves careful control of factors like temperature, pH, and nutrient supply (e.g., glucose, oils) to maximize lycopene yield.After fermentation, the lycopene is extracted from the fungal biomass using solvents (such as isopropanol and isobutyl acetate) and purified through crystallization and filtration to obtain a red crystalline powder.
