番茄红素的生产和纯化方法的研究进展

Research progress on the extraction and purification methods of lycopene

番茄红素是类胡萝卜素的一种,它具有很强的抗氧化、防癌、抗癌的作用,是目前国际上功能食品成分研究中的一个热点。文章综述了番茄红素的生产方法:有机溶剂提取法、微生物发酵法、化学合成法以及番茄红素油树脂的浓缩纯化方法:溶剂法、皂化法、色谱法、结晶法。并对番茄红素的应用开发前景作出展望。

Lycopene is one kind of carotenoid.Its antioxidant is very high.It also plays the important role to prevent and kill cancers.Therefore,the research of lycopene is a hot point in the functional foods as an ingredient in the world.In this paper,the ways of lycopene production and purification was reviewed,including production by organic solvents,microbial fermentation,chemical synthesis and purification by solvents method,saponification method,chromatography method,crystallization method and so on,and has an outlook to the application of lycopene.
