Name	Lycopene
Groups	approved investigational
Description	Lycopene is a naturally occurring red carotenoid pigment that is responsible for red to pink colors seen in tomatoes, pink grapefruit, and other foods [A27242]. Having a chemical formula of C40H56, lycopene is a tetraterpene assembled from eight isoprene units that are solely composed of carbon and hydrogen. Lycopene may undergo extensive isomerization that allows 1056 theoretical cis-trans configurations; however, the all-trans configuration of lycopene is the most predominant isomer found in foods [A27242, A27243] that gives the red hue. Lycopene is a non-essential human nutrient that is classified as a non-provitamin A carotenoid pigment since it lacks a terminal beta-ionone ring [A27242] and does not mediate vitamin A activity. However, lycopene is a potent antioxidant molecule that scavenges reactive oxygen species (ROS) singlet oxygen. Tomato lycopene extract is used as a color additive in food products.
