Notes:
Used as food colouring Lycopene (from the New Latin word lycopersicum for the tomato species name) is a bright red carotene and carotenoid pigment and phytochemical found in tomatoes and other red fruits and vegetables, such as red carrots, watermelons and papayas (but not strawberries or cherries). Although lycopene is chemically a carotene, it has no vitamin A activity. (Wikipedia) Constit. of tomatoes and many other fruits. Nutriceutical with antioxidant props.
