LycoMato is a standardized tomato oleoresin that contains a high concentration of lycopene, partially dissolved and mostly dispersed in tomato oil, as well as phytoene, phytofluene, b-carotene, tocopherols and phytosterols--tomato phytonutrients that act synergistically, enhancing the biological activity of the lycopene. The oleoresin is used as a source of lycopene in functional foods, and already is marketed as a food colorant in Europe and Japan. LycoRed Group, www.lycored.com
