Lycopene, the predominant carotenoid in tomatoes,
is among the major carotenoids in serum and tissues of
humans. Epidemiological studies have proven the bioactive
role and potential disease prevention property of carotenoids
and their consumption has been associated with reduced risk
of degenerative diseases. Lycopene is reported to have a
variety of pharmacological and nutritional effects in animals
and humans, on one hand and promising health benefits as an
antioxidant on the other. However, a need exists for better
exploration of its biosynthesis, metabolic aspects, tissue distribution
and bioavailability. To contribute to this effort, this
integrated review presents data on the physico-chemical
aspects, biosynthesis and metabolism, with special focus on
the stability and degradation under various abiotic parameters.
Heat light and oxygen are the main factors which induce
degradation of lycopene via trans-cis isomerization and oxidation
and reduce its health benefits. The stability of lycopene
is also varied in different food matrices. Controversy also
exists on some issues such as bioavailability and absorption
of this compound which needs to be explored further.
