LYCOPENE EXTRACTION FROM TOMATO PASTE Introduction: Lycopene is a carotene because of its carbon and hydrogen composition. It is red in color and a member of the carotenoid family. Members of the carotenoid family play integral roles in plants. They use the absorption of light to aid in photosynthesis‚ and protect chlorophyll from damage. In humans‚ Lycopene acts as an antioxidant. Lycopene is found in various fruits and vegetables. The purpose of this experiment is the isolation of

Chromatography: Isolation of Lycopene from Tomato Paste Reading: Zubrick‚ pages 79-82‚ 127-130‚ 138-139‚ 141-143‚ and 235-240 Pre-lab: look up the structure of lycopene. Introduction: Lycopene is the red pigment in ripe tomatoes and‚ as an antioxidant‚ helps to fight certain cancers. In this lab you will isolate lycopene from tomato paste. To do this you will first extract carotenoid pigments from the paste and then use column chromatography to isolate the lycopene from the other pigments

of such a move? COFCO has many so many clients for tomato paste in bulk from different countries i.e. Japan‚ Italy‚ Russia‚ U.K. etc. These different clients have different requirement/ quality in final tomato paste i.e. Japanese client want more lycopene in tomato paste. Thus to cater wide range of quality requirement in tomato paste‚ COFCO is presently produces 60 customised varieties of tomato seeds. COFCO now produces about 80% of seeds for farmers. Advantage of producing on seeds: Uniform quality
