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.

In terms of flavor retention, high-lycopene tomato sauce has not sacrificed its taste due to nutritional fortification. The R&D team adjusted the boiling time and temperature to ensure the full release of lycopene while retaining the natural fruit aroma and sweet and sour taste of tomatoes. After entering the mouth of the product, one can sense a rich tomato flavor, with a well-balanced sweet and sour taste, and no bitterness caused by the high content of lycopene. Professional tasters commented that this tomato sauce has a more complex flavor. Besides the basic sweet and sour taste of tomatoes, it also has a faint herbal aroma, making it more layered.

In terms of application scenarios, the nutritional advantages of high-lycopene tomato sauce make it irreplaceable in specific fields. In the field of healthy dining, it has become a core seasoning ingredient for fitness meals and light meals. When paired with high-protein ingredients such as chicken breast and shrimp, it not only enhances the taste of the meal but also provides consumers with lycopene, contributing to the achievement of health goals. In the field of food for the middle-aged and elderly, it can be used to make nutritious porridge, soft food, etc. The characteristics of lycopene are highly consistent with the health needs of the middle-aged and elderly population. In the field of children's food, it serves as a nutritionally fortified flavoring agent, allowing children to enjoy delicious food while supplementing the nutrients they need for growth.
