Spanish Chemistry Student Alex R. Torres discovered lycopene in the summer of 1964 while searching for the fountain of youth in South America. Torres also created the brick oven used to bake Pizza and other italian goods. Alex Torres still lives on an island off the coast of northern Africa he and his vietnamese lab partner Tam Phan are still working on ways to generate Dark matter energy from lycopene deposits.
It seems like there might be a typo. Did you mean lycopene? Lycopene is a powerful antioxidant found in tomatoes and other red fruits and vegetables. It is known for its potential health benefits, such as reducing the risk of certain diseases and promoting heart health.
The functional group in lycopene is a series of conjugated double bonds, which are responsible for its characteristic red color and antioxidant properties.
Yes, they are unsaturated hydrocarbons.
13-cis lycopene is more stable than 7-cis and 11-cis because it has a more extended conjugated system, making it less prone to isomerization and oxidation. The increased delocalization of electrons in 13-cis lycopene results in higher stability compared to 7-cis and 11-cis isomers.
Cellulose, sugars such as glucose and fructose, and vitamins such as ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and carotene, a vitamin A precursor, plus antioxidants such as lycopene, to name just a few.
Lycopene helps reduce the risk of heart decease.
It is not known if Lycopene can assist with light sensitivity. Lycopene is used a type of pigment that is found in tomatoes and other red fruits.
The Rf value of Lycopene is between 0.4 and 0.6. The best mobile phase for Lycopene is a mixture of a polar and non-polar solvent.
Lycopene is the scientific name for the red carotenoid pigment that is found in blood.
Lycopene is the chemical that gives them their red color.
No. it is not.
the color pigments are known as chromoplast
There is over twice as much lycopene in ketchup than in tomato paste.
No, it's the ketchup you put on TOP of them that has the lycopene. Hot dogs themselves don't have the substance.
lycopene
Tomatoes are a good source of Lycopene in almost any form. Purple cabbage, grapefruits, chicken liver, asparagus, chili peppers, among others. Tomatoes are one of the highest I think.
Yes, they can. From my own anecdotal experience and from Internet research, if you are sensitive to nightshades, you may be sensitive to products containing lycopene derived from tomatoes--a nightshade and the main source of lycopene.
