It encompasses all critical aspects necessary for lycopene production, including the cost of lycopene production, lycopene plant cost, lycopene production costs, and the overall lycopene manufacturing plant cost. Additionally, the study covers specific expenditures associated with setting up and operating a lycopene production plant. These encompass manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure needs, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, and more.
Lycopene is an organic pigment that is called carotenoid and is responsible for the pinkish-red color seen in tomatoes, pink guavas, etc. It is widely used as a color additive in foods, including non-alcoholic flavored drinks, bread, baked goods, and spreads for providing yellow to red color. Moreover, it is used for the treatment of cardiovascular disease, cataracts, asthma, and as an anti-inflammatory. Additionally, it also finds its application in cosmetic products, like sunscreens, lotions, creams, serums, etc., due to its ability to protect skin from UV damage and improve skin health.
The market for lycopene is majorly driven by its application as a color additive to impart a yellowish red color to various food products, like non-alcoholic flavored drinks, spreads, etc., which significantly increases its market growth. Moreover, its application as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory for the treatment of various diseases further enhances its demand in the medical, healthcare, and pharmaceutical industries.
Its extensive usage in the production of various cosmetic products notably accelerates its demand in the skincare and cosmetics industry. Additionally, several factors influence industrial lycopene procurement, such as the source and purity, cost and pricing, compliance with pharmaceutical regulations, quality standards, technological advancements, environmental considerations, sustainability practices, distribution (including trading and shipping), logistics, safety standards, etc.
Raw Material for Lycopene Production
According to the Lycopene manufacturing plant project report, the major raw material for Lycopene production includes Tomato.
Manufacturing Process of Lycopene
The extensive Lycopene production cost report consists of the following industrial manufacturing process:
- Production from Tomato: This method of producing lycopene extract from tomatoes involves using a specific variety of tomatoes that has high lycopene content (in the range of 150-250 mg/kg). It involves crushing the tomatoes to obtain their crude tomato juice, followed by its separation into serum and pulp and extracting it by using ethyl acetate. Further, the solvent is removed by evaporation under vacuum at 40-60 degrees Celsius to obtain lycopene as the final product. The variety of tomatoes used here is not utilized for consumption but is primarily used in the manufacture of lycopene extract.
Lycopene appears as a red crystalline solid or dark red viscous liquid. The molecular formula of lycopene is C40H56, and its molecular weight is 536.85 g/mol. The compound has a melting point that ranges between 172-175 °C. It is Insoluble in water but is readily soluble in organic solvents such as chloroform, benzene, and carbon disulfide. It is an acyclic isomer of beta-carotene with 11 conjugated double bonds that contribute to its red color and antioxidant properties. It is sensitive to light, heat, and oxygen, leading to degradation and loss of color and potency.
