Natural Lycopene Powder is a kind of carotene in plant food, which is widely found in tomatoes, tomato products, watermelon, grapefruit, and other fruits. It is the main pigment in mature tomatoes of Solanaceae and is one of the most common and powerful carotenoid antioxidants in the human body. Humans and animals cannot synthesize lycopene by themselves and can only obtain it through dietary supplements. As a functional natural red pigment, lycopene is widely used in health food, medicine and cosmetics.
With abundant experience in the R&D of engineering bacterial fermentation, HSF Biotech has been developing fast as a leading manufacturer of Natural Color Series.
We conducted research on Natural Lycopene Powder products. Carotenoids are mainly extracted from tomatoes and other plants. The raw material is subject to seasonal changes and the cost is easily influenced. We adopted the modern biological technology molecular breeding, to get microbial engineering bacteria, which ensure that the product source is broadened by fermentation.
We strive to offer the public safe and healthy products with high quality through continuous technology innovation.

Product Advantages
1. Fermentation-Derived Core: From High-Purity Crystal to Beadlet
Molecular Breeding for Lycopene Biosynthesis
The lycopene core used in this product is produced through microbial fermentation of Blakeslea trispora, using a strain developed via molecular breeding rather than conventional plant extraction. HSF applies transcriptome and proteomics analysis to identify key metabolic pathways, followed by directed evolution using UV and plasma-based domestication to modify the metabolic pathways of industrial microorganisms. This approach yields a high-purity crystalline intermediate with low residual impurities, which serves as the core material for subsequent microencapsulation.
Mated fermentation of the (+) and (−) mating types is employed, with the two strains cultured separately during the vegetative phase before being combined in the production medium. This process design supports consistent lycopene accumulation under controlled fermentation conditions.
2. VegeLipi® Microencapsulation Platform
Engineered Delivery System for Cold-Water Dispersibility
The 10% CWS beadlet is produced through HSF's VegeLipi® microencapsulation platform, which is designed to address the two persistent challenges of carotenoid formulations: oxidative instability and poor water solubility.
The system uses protective wall materials that shield the lycopene core from light, heat, and oxygen exposure during processing and storage. Taste-masking mechanisms reduce off-notes associated with the core material, while controlled release properties are designed to support intestinal absorption.
For formulation flexibility, the platform operates as a modular production line capable of switching between different core oils, wall materials, active loadings (from 10% up to 70%), and particle sizes within 72 hours. This allows customization for specific customer formulations without extended lead times.
3. R&D Infrastructure and Technical Support
Integrated Development Capability
The technical foundation for this product is supported by the HSF R&D Center, which operates core platforms for strain library construction, high-throughput screening, protein engineering, and fully automated fermentation. The center maintains a comprehensive microbial strain discovery and optimization platform alongside a precision fermentation platform for controlled bioprocessing.
In 2024, HSF led the establishment of the Biosynthesis Innovation Center of Shaanxi Province, in collaboration with China Agricultural University, Shaanxi Normal University, and Beijing University of Chemical Technology. The center operates a full-chain innovation system covering cell factory R&D, enzyme engineering, pilot process development, and functional services.
Technical documentation including TDS, stability data, and customized formulation support is available upon request.
