Lycopene
Lycopene is the pigment of tomato. Its chemical formula is C40H56.
Ketchup contains high concentrations of bioavailable lycopene.[1][2][3][4]
Despite good antioxidant properties its low solubility reduces its bioavailability and pharmaceutical applications. In a recent work its solubility was improved through complex with Isolated protein-whey (IWP) [5]
