Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What's the difference between Lycopene 5%, 10%, and 20%?

The 5%/10%/20% difference reflects total Lycopene content measured via HPLC. 10%+ beadlets are common for supplement formulations; 20%+ is positioned for premium applications.

Q2: What's the difference between natural and synthetic Lycopene?

Natural Lycopene is extracted from tomatoes (all-trans isomer) or produced via Blakeslea trispora fermentation. Synthetic Lycopene is chemically produced. Both are pharmacopoeia-accepted; natural is preferred for dietary supplements.

Q3: Can Lycopene be combined with other ingredients?

Lycopene is commonly combined with Saw Palmetto, Beta-Sitosterol, Selenium, and Vitamin E in men's health formulations. We recommend consulting with your formulation team.

Q4: What's the regulatory status in the EU?

Lycopene from tomatoes or fermentation is permitted as a food supplement ingredient in the EU under Novel Food Regulation. Specific regulatory status depends on intended application and labeling.

Q5: How is Lycopene content measured?

Lycopene content is quantified via HPLC with UV detection at 472 nm per USP / AOAC methods.

Q6: What's the typical MOQ?

Standard MOQ is 1 kg. Smaller quantities (100-500g) are available for evaluation.

Q7: Do you offer custom specifications?

Yes. Custom specifications (e.g., specific Lycopene content, beadlet/oil form, packaging) can be discussed with our coordination team.
