It belongs to the isoprene class of compounds and is an oxygen-free carotenoid.<br \/><br \/>The molecular formula of lycopene is C40H56. with a relative molecular mass of 536.85. There are 11 conjugated double bonds and 2 non-conjugated double bonds in the molecular structure, forming a straight-chain hydrocarbon.<br \/><br \/>The pure lycopene in nature is a dark red needle-shaped substance, insoluble in water, but soluble in organic solvents such as chloroform, benzene and oil.<br \/><br \/>Lycopene is unstable to light and oxygen, turns brown when it encounters iron, and is prone to cis-trans isomerization and oxidative degradation.<br \/><br \/>Lycopene is widely present in red plant fruits such as tomatoes, carrots, watermelons, papayas and guavas, especially in ripe tomatoes.<br \/><br \/>Lycopene is mainly distributed in the testicles and adrenal glands in the human body, and is also distributed in large quantities in the liver, adipose tissue, prostate and ovaries, but lycopene cannot be detected in brain tissue (it may not be able to cross the blood-brain barrier and enter the brain tissue).","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lycopene is a natural pigment contained in plants, also [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1955,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1951","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-industry-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/benutri.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1951","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/benutri.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/benutri.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/benutri.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/benutri.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1951"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/benutri.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1951\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1953,"href":"https:\/\/benutri.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1951\/revisions\/1953"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/benutri.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1955"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/benutri.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1951"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/benutri.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1951"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/benutri.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1951"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
