MANUFACTURING METHOD OF CIS-LYCOPENE-CONTAINING COMPOSITION, ISOMERIZATION PROMOTION METHOD OF LYCOPENE, AND CATALYST FOR LYCOPENE ISOMERIZATION

摘要

To effectively isomerize lycopene, more especially to shorten a process for isomerization of lycopene.SOLUTION: The inventors found that isomerization of lycopene occurs in short time by isomerization of a mixture by mixing a lycopene-containing material and an isothiocyanate-containing material. At least isomerization constitutes the manufacturing method of a cis-lycopene-containing composition. In an isomerization process, a mixture containing the lycopene-containing material and the isothiocyanate-containing material is isomerized.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
