    © 2020 Elsevier Ltd The application of lycopene, a potent antioxidant, is limited because of its hydrophobic nature and low chemical stability. To overcome this, different delivery systems, i.e. oil-in-water emulsions and alginate beads, have been... synthesized in this study using modified rice starch for improving the stability of lycopene. Lycopene solution (in oil) was used as a control. Modified rice starch was used as it is cheap, GRAS, has better adsorption at the oil-water interface and provides

    Beta-carotene, lycopene, and alpha-tocopherol contents of selected Thai fruits
    (2009-03-01) R. Charoensiri; R. Kongkachuichai; S. Suknicom; P. Sungpuag; Mahidol University
    A total of 37 varieties of fresh fruits obtained from six representative markets in Bangkok, Thailand, were determined for their beta-carotene, lycopene, and alpha-tocopherol contents using high performance liquid chromatography. Beta-carotene... content ranged from undetectable up to 616 μg/100 g of edible portion, lycopene content from undetectable up to 6693 μg/100 g and vitamin E content from not undetectable up to 1.43 mg/100 g.
