The nutritional value of lycopene: A trusted tomato component for healthy people
The lycopene content in traditional tomato sauce is usually between 15 and 20 milligrams per 100 grams. However, this high-lycopene tomato sauce achieves nutritional fortification through two core methods
Lycopene, as an important nutrient in tomatoes, has high nutritional value and is highly regarded by healthy people. Recently, a tomato sauce product highlighting "high lycopene content" has officially hit the market. Through special variety breeding and process optimization, the lycopene content in tomato sauce has been raised to an industry high, while fully retaining the natural flavor of tomatoes, providing consumers with a better nutritional supplement option.
The lycopene content in traditional tomato sauce is usually between 15 and 20 milligrams per 100 grams. However, this high-lycopene tomato sauce achieves nutritional fortification through two core methods: Firstly, it selects the high-lycopene tomato variety "Golden Crown No. 1", which was cultivated by agricultural research institutions and has a lycopene content 50% higher than that of ordinary tomatoes. The second approach is to adopt the "cell wall breaking extraction" process, which physically breaks the cell walls of tomatoes to allow lycopene to be released more fully into the tomato paste while avoiding the damage to lycopene caused by high temperatures. After testing, the lycopene content of this tomato sauce reached 42 milligrams per 100 grams, which is more than twice that of traditional products.
