Abstract

Lycopene is a functional component of great dietary importance obtained from many plant sources. In this article, we address the extraction of lycopene from various sources by efficient analytical support. Extraction, storage, and handling are described in detail. We also describe the effect of heat and time on amount of lycopene during extraction. Purification and applications are considered to understand lycopene's nutraceutical, epidemiological, and pharmaceutical importance, as well.
