1.Lycopene 10% Microparticles

Lycopene is a carotenoid responsible for the characteristic red color of tomatoes and several other fruits and vegetables. As a fat-soluble carotenoid with antioxidant properties, it is commonly used in nutritional supplements, functional foods and wellness-oriented formulations.

The 10% concentration provides a concentrated form of lycopene for manufacturers developing products where the active carotenoid needs to be incorporated into a defined dry ingredient format.

Rather than treating lycopene simply as a conventional powder ingredient, this product uses a specialized Microparticles structure to better align the ingredient format with the requirements of solid dosage formulation.

 

2.Double Encapsulation Technology

The product is manufactured using Double Encapsulation Technology, creating a structured particulate system around the lycopene ingredient.

For a fat-soluble carotenoid such as lycopene, the physical format of the ingredient is an important part of formulation design. Double Encapsulation provides a technology-based approach to incorporating lycopene into a dry Microparticles system rather than relying solely on the properties of the original active ingredient.

The resulting format is developed specifically for nutritional solid dosage applications, allowing manufacturers to evaluate lycopene as a specialized encapsulated ingredient within their tablet formulations.

or who are developing vegetarian-friendly nutritional products.

For international supplement development, a Gelatin-Free ingredient option can also help manufacturers address different formulation preferences and product positioning requirements.

 

3.Why Use Lycopene Microparticles?

Lycopene is a fat-soluble carotenoid, so its formulation into a dry solid dosage product requires consideration of both the active ingredient and the physical ingredient format.

The Microparticles approach provides a structured form of lycopene intended for incorporation into tablet formulations. It is different from conventional Microencapsulated Powder and should not be treated as the same product format.

The focus is therefore not simply on supplying lycopene at a defined concentration, but on providing a specialized ingredient format that combines the active content with an encapsulated particulate structure suitable for its intended application.

 

4.Designed for Tablet Formulations

Lycopene Microparticles 10% GF is specifically developed for tablets and other solid dosage nutritional products.

It can be evaluated in formulations containing other carotenoids, vitamins, minerals and nutritional ingredients. The concentrated 10% format allows formulators to incorporate lycopene into dry nutritional blends while considering the overall active content and formulation design.

As with other specialized ingredients, final tablet performance depends on the complete formulation, excipients, processing conditions and manufacturing process. Application trials are recommended when introducing the ingredient into a new formulation.
