Technical Roadmap & Innovation in Lycopene Processing

How our advanced isolation, crystallization, and encapsulation technologies maximize bioavailability and stability.

🧪

Supercritical CO₂ Fluid Extraction

Conventional solvent extraction methodologies often utilize harsh chemicals like hexane, leaving traces of toxic residues. Our advanced clean supercritical carbon dioxide extraction operates under low temperatures, preserving the structural integrity of natural all-trans-lycopene while avoiding thermal degradation and chemical toxicity.

🔬

Microencapsulation Technology

Pure lycopene is highly susceptible to photo-oxidation, heat, and acidic environments. Using modern molecular wall materials (modified starches, gum arabic, and maltodextrins), we package lycopene at a molecular level, preventing color loss and chemical oxidation during compound storage.

🧬

Enhancing Oral Bioavailability

Due to its high hydrophobicity, standard crystalline lycopene has a very low absorption rate in the human digestive system. Through custom emulsification and nanotechnology, we alter the crystalline structure to create water-dispersible cold water soluble (CWS) powders that dramatically increase absorption rates.

💡 Future Outlook: Transition to High Cis-Isomer Lycopene formulations

Clinical studies show that cis-isomers of lycopene are absorbed much more efficiently by the human body than the trans-isomers found in raw tomatoes. Andy Biotech is currently pioneering industrial-scale thermal isomerization processes to manufacture powders with higher ratios of stable cis-lycopene. This development promises to decrease the necessary dosage while delivering superior therapeutic outcomes, helping global buyers create high-potency formulations with minimal ingredient waste.

Our Story

A personal journey connecting ancestral plant wisdom with modern scientific innovation.

Andy was born in a small village close to the Hanjiang River in Hanzhong, Shaanxi province, China. Thirty years ago, when she was still a little child, she caught a cold, but medical services were not available unless the family crossed over high mountains to find a hospital. Thus, Andy's grandfather first used Echinacea leaves soaked in water for her treatment, then he dug Echinacea root, shredded it into pulp, and squeezed the liquid for Andy to drink—one spoon every two hours. Andy recovered after this treatment.

As a child, Andy watched her grandfather harness the healing power of plants in his humble garden. His ancient herbal remedies were not just treatments; they were magic. That early wonder blossomed into a profound passion for plant extracts and a deep respect for nature’s wisdom. From that time on, little Andy swore that she would help to spread herbs all over the world to benefit more people.

This personal journey is the heart of Andy Biotech. It’s why Andy Biotech is dedicated to researching and delivering the purest, most effective botanical solutions for modern wellness. Andy’s lifelong vow is to honor that tradition by innovating for a healthier future, empowering lives through the timeless power of plants.

What is the primary difference between natural lycopene and synthetic equivalents?
Natural lycopene is derived from non-GMO tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum) and contains an entourage of secondary phytonutrients, including phytoene, phytofluene, and beta-carotene, which act synergistically to support bioavailability. Synthetic lycopene contains only the isolated molecule, lacking this natural nutrient matrix. In addition, natural lycopene is preferred for clean-label certifications.
How does Andy Biotech guarantee pesticide and heavy metal compliance?
We monitor our agricultural raw inputs closely and test each finished batch using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) for heavy metals and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) for pesticide screens. Our parameters exceed USP/EP limits, ensuring compliance with strict European and American safety laws.
Do you offer water-soluble lycopene formulations for beverages?
Yes, we offer specialized Cold Water Dispersible (CWS) Lycopene Powders (typically 5% and 10% concentrations). These utilize clean-label food starches to microencapsulate the lycopene, enabling complete dispersion in cold water without oil-droplet separation or sediment formation.
What is the typical shelf life and storage conditions of your powder?
Our microencapsulated powders have a guaranteed shelf life of 24 months when stored in their original unopened packaging, kept in cool (under 20°C), dry conditions, and protected from direct UV light exposure.
What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for custom formulations?
For our standard stock powder grades, the MOQ is 25 kg (one standard drum). Custom specifications, specific particle size distributions, or specialized carrier matrices can be adjusted with MOQs starting at 100 kg to 500 kg, depending on formulation complexity.
