Lycopene, a powerful antioxidant carotenoids
Lycopene is a carotenoid pigment of bright red, a phytochemical found in tomatoes and other red fruits. Lycopene is the most common carotenoid in the human body and is one of the carotenoid antioxidant more powerful. Its name is derived from the classification of tomato species, Solanum lycopersicum.
Fruits and vegetables that are rich in lycopene include not only tomatoes, but watermelon, grapefruit, papaya and rosehip. Almost all of lycopene in the American diet comes from food containing tomato.
Unlike other fruits and vegetables, where nutritional content, such as vitamin C reduces the cooking, processing tomatoes increases the concentration of bioavailable lycopene. Lycopene in tomato paste is four times more bioavailable than in fresh tomatoes. Thus, products tomato as Tomato Juice, soups, sauces and ketchup contain the highest concentration of bioavailable lycopene.
For Lycopene is insoluble in Water is so closely linked to the fiber, the bioavailability of lycopene is increased by food processing. For example, cooking tomatoes broken (as in the process of canning) in oil and serve rich dishes (like spaghetti sauce or pizza) increased assimilation in the gastrointestinal tract blood.
The carotenoid lycopene is the most powerful atomic oxygen buffer. The singlet oxygen in ultraviolet light is the main cause of aging skin.
There is evidence that frequent consumption of these products is associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer (especially prostate cancer), diabetes, osteoporosis and even male infertility. Lycopene may also be associated with reduced risk of cancer of the esophagus, colon and oral cancer.
Because of its ubiquity, lycopene has been approved for use as food coloring.
Lycopene is not soluble in water and stains immediately any material sufficiently porous including most plastics. While a tomato stain can be fairly easily removed from fabric If the stain is fresh, colorful, plastic challenge all efforts to remove the lycopene with hot water, soap or detergent. Bleach will destroy lycopene, however.
Plastics are particularly susceptible to staining if heated, scratched, oiled, or pitted by acids such as those found in tomatoes.
