- Product Description
Tomato Extract Powder: Premium Natural Lycopene Concentrate for Health & Nutrition
Tomato Extract Powder is just what you need for your formulation when you are looking for a trusted source of high strength natural antioxidants. This rich crimson powder is made from carefully selected mature tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum) and captures the amazing power of lycopene, a carotenoid known for its capabilities of cellular defence. Our extract offers standardised efficiency, long shelf lifestyles and more components flexibility relative to uncooked tomatoes that degrade quickly and have choppy active ranges. If you are developing nutritional supplements, purposeful ingredients or cosmeceutical goods, this solution solves essential difficulties of inconsistent raw material supply, unexpected bioactive content material and the problem of mixing fat-soluble nutrients right into a extensive range of transport systems.

Complete Quality Infrastructure: Our laboratory has facilities for HPLC, UV-Vis spectrophotometry and heavy metal testing. Each batch undergoes thorough 3rd party verification before to distribution.
Certified & Compliant: ISO9001, ISO22000, FSSC22000, HACCP, HALAL, KOSHER, cGMP. All goods comply with EU EC396 pesticide requirements and EU 2023/915 contaminant limitations.
Flexible Customisation: From tomato extract powder to tablets, hard capsules and softgels, we provide OEM/ODM to meet your market positioning and consumer choice.
Global Logistics Network: An green deliver chain, backed via strategic uncooked fabric reserves that stabilise pricing all through seasonal modifications, gives timely and secure delivery of merchandise around the arena.

Source & Traceability
Raw Material Origin: We source exclusively from mature, fresh tomato fruits and processing pomace of Solanum lycopersicum. Green, damaged, or artificially ripened fruits are strictly excluded.
Three Quality Grades:
· Industrial Grade Mixed Pomace: Used for 1–2% basic extracts; cost-effective for general antioxidant applications.
· Food Grade Selected Ripe Pomace: Pre-screened for pesticides and heavy metals; consistent color and isomer profile; ideal for mainstream 5–10% export specifications.
· High-End Traceable Whole Fruit: From designated organic farms with full chain-of-custody documentation; extremely high all-trans ratio; reserved for premium 20% concentrates and microencapsulated water-soluble formulas.
Supply Chain Transparency: We keep direct contracts with licensed growers, permitting traceability from area to manufacturing facility. Lengthy-time period clients benefit from annual price-lock agreements that hedge against marketplace volatility.

Solubility & Stability Characteristics
Solubility Profile:
· Standard Powder: Completely insoluble in water; barely soluble in vegetable oils; simply soluble in ethyl acetate, ethanol, and hexane.
· Water-Soluble Microencapsulated Form: Disperses rapidly in both hot and bloodless water, creating uniform, sediment-loose answers appropriate for beverages and liquid dietary supplements.
Stability Features:
· Light Sensitivity: UV exposure triggers rapid oxidation and trans-to-cis isomer conversion. Our entire production, drying, and packaging occurs in light-sealed environments.
· Temperature Sensitivity: Degradation accelerates above 70℃. We maintain processing temperatures ≤60℃ throughout.
· Oxidation Susceptibility: Dry powder readily absorbs atmospheric oxygen. Finished products receive vacuum sealing with nitrogen flushing.
· pH Stability: Most stable at pH 4.0–7.0; acidic or alkaline conditions accelerate degradation.

Manufacturing Process
Our methodology enables optimal activity preservation and batch to batch consistency.
Raw Material Screening: Green, mouldy or unripe end result are inspected manually. Widespread material is cleaned, tired and occasional-temperature dried (forty-forty five℃) in darkness and milled to 20-30 mesh.
Low-Temperature Extraction: Lycopene is dissolved by means of meals-grade ethyl acetate or ethanol below managed temperatures to save you breaking of double bonds. The technique is done under a nitrogen surroundings to avoid oxidation.
Vacuum Concentration: The solvent is evaporated under the protection of nitrogen at a negative pressure (≤60℃) and in full darkness to obtain concentrated lycopene ester.
Gradient Resin Purification: Diluted listen flows through specialized macroporous resin columns. The sugars and pectin are washed out with water and the lycopene is remoted by way of gradient elution that stabilises the all-trans ratio.
Decolorisation & Filtration: Removal of oxidised contaminants at low temperature using activated carbon. Precision filtration for uniform color and readability.
Recrystallisation Refine: Gradient cooling crystallisation further separates cis-isomers and remaining contaminants. Cycle count depends on goal purity (5%, 10%, 20%).
Vacuum Drying: Drying in the absence of light and oxygen removes moisture and preserves bioactivity.
Microencapsulation (Optional): For water-soluble forms , lycopene oil is microencapsulated in plant-primarily based wall substances the usage of high-velocity homogenisation and spray-dried into solid microcapsules.
Final Homogenization: Powder is sieved to goal mesh length, batch-combined for consistency, and subjected to full inspection earlier than mild-proof, nitrogen-stuffed packaging.

FAQ
Q: Are you able to guarantee the ratio of trans/cis lycopene and provide distinct isomer data on COA?
A: Sure. Control of isomerisation using our low temperature extraction and gradient crystallisation. Each COA has total lycopene, all-trans content and cis-isomer % to meet the EU supplement criteria.
Q: How do you prove your product is 100% tomato sourced and free of synthetic adulteration?
A: We provide HPLC fingerprint spectrum, carbon isotope test and planting traceability documentation. With every shipment we also provide a declaration of natural source for international registration.
Q: How do you avoid light-induced damage in production and shipping?
A: We have nitrogen protection, light seal throughout the facility. The final products are packed in double-layer vacuum foils to prevent discolouration during long maritime transportation.
Q: But how can you keep the supply and the price stable, despite the seasonal nature of the tomato harvest?
A: We sign fixed-orchard contracts during the high season, and we have low-temperature storage of approved raw materials. Long term customers might negotiate periodic price locks to buffer against volatility.
Q: Do you have a microencapsulated water soluble lycopene for beverage applications?
A: Yes, of course. Our innovative spray-dried encapsulation generates a cold water-soluble powder with even dispersion and no sediment or oil separation.
