Standardized botanical extracts and functional ingredients manufactured under stringent cGMP conditions to empower your formulations.
Lycopene (C40H56), a highly lipophilic acyclic carotenoid containing 11 conjugated double bonds, has emerged as one of the most commercially significant phytochemicals in the global functional food, pharmaceutical, and cosmeceutical sectors. Historically valued primary as a red food pigment, contemporary scientific consensus has repositioned Natural Lycopene as a potent antioxidant agent capable of neutralizing singlet oxygen species with an efficiency that is twice that of beta-carotene and tenfold that of alpha-tocopherol.
The global demand for natural tomato-derived lycopene is experiencing an unprecedented compound annual growth rate (CAGR). This shift is predominantly driven by consumer rejection of synthetic petroleum-derived colorants and an aging global population seeking proactive cellular protection. Industrially, natural lycopene is critical for its cardioprotective properties, vascular endothelial defense mechanisms, and prostate tissue maintenance support, resulting in massive formulation pipelines across North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region.
Unlike synthetic counterparts, natural tomato extract yields a balanced complex containing trace carotenoids like phytoene, phytofluene, and beta-carotene. This natural matrix exhibits a synergistic biological effect, ensuring significantly enhanced bio-accessibility and safety profiles recognized by global regulatory frameworks.

|---|---|---|
| Synergistic Carotenoids | Contains Phytoene & Phytofluene | Isolated Compound Only |
| Chemical Residues | Zero organic solvent residues | Potential synthetic byproducts |
| Bioavailability | High (due to lipid matrix) | Moderate to Low |
Andy Biotech is a leading manufacturer and supplier of premium-quality, scientifically-validated plant extracts for the food, beverage, nutraceutical, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries. Founded on a commitment to purity, potency, and innovation, we bridge the gap between nature’s potential and your product development goals.
Our core strength lies in our vertically integrated process, which gives us complete control from seed to extract. We partner with a network of certified organic and sustainably managed farms to ensure the integrity of every raw material. Our state-of-the-art extraction facilities employ advanced technologies, including supercritical solvent and water-based methods, to preserve the full spectrum of bioactive compounds without compromising on environmental responsibility.
Our Natural Lycopene Tomato Extract is a star ingredient in our portfolio, extracted using optimized green processing methods to deliver the highest concentration of active carotenoids in diverse, stable formats such as powder, oil suspension, and cold-water-dispersible (CWD) formulations.
Harnessing geographical terroir and technological scale to deliver reliable, cost-efficient raw materials.
Our tomato cultivation partners operate in Xinjiang and Shaanxi, regions characterized by over 3,000 annual sunlight hours, dramatic day-to-night temperature variations, and pure glacial irrigation water. This terroir forces the plants to synthesize significantly higher concentrations of natural lycopene compared to other globally cultivated regions.
Using industrial-scale supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) with CO2 alongside optimized solvent distillation methods, we maximize clean extraction yields. This eco-responsible closed-loop processing preserves the structural integrity of natural trans-lycopene, minimizing thermal degradation.
By integrating agricultural sourcing directly with high-volume industrial processing facilities in China, we mitigate supply bottlenecks and market price volatility. Our streamlined export pathways translate directly to lower per-kilogram costs for global formulators.
Optimized formulations designed for maximum compatibility and bioavailability across multiple key industrial sectors.
Used in softgels, hard capsules, and tablets targeting prostate health, cardiovascular homeostasis, and antioxidant cell protection. The lipophilic matrix is combined with carriers like sunflower oil or pumpkin seed oil for maximum structural absorption in the digestive tract.
Our cold-water-dispersible (CWD) lycopene powders allow for seamless dispersion in beverages, functional juices, and dry powder formulations without sedimentation. It acts as both a biologically active health booster and a clean-label natural colorant resistant to light-induced fading.
Lycopene serves as an endogenously active shield protecting skin cells from ultraviolet radiation (UV-induced skin erythema). Incorporated into oral beauty supplements ("beauty from within") and topical creams as an anti-aging, collagen-preserving radical scavenger.
Quality and safety are non-negotiable. Every batch undergoes rigorous testing in our in-house laboratories, equipped with HPLC, GC-MS, and other advanced analytical instruments. We guarantee compliance with stringent international standards, including ISO, NSF, cGMP, and related certifications . Our commitment to transparency means you receive comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (CoA) for every product, ensuring traceability and peace of mind.
It’s one thing to just meet the regulations when providing ingredients,but when an ingredient supplier exceeds those standards and imposes even higher ones in its products that is a sign of a company who cares.Andy Biotech takes extra steps to ensure that our independent third-party laboratory-tested ingredients you want meet our standards as well as your own.
Our extensive portfolio features a wide range of standardized extract, ratio extract, and custom blends tailored to specific formulations. Whether you need Echinacea for immune support, Turmeric with high curcuminoid content, or innovative botanical blends for skincare, our technical team works closely with you to deliver exactly what your product requires.
Andy Biotech provide high quality Ginkgo Biloba Extract,Lycopene Tomato Extract,Lutein Marigold Extract,Aloe Vera Gel Freeze Dried powder Aloe Vera Extract and other natural ingredients to food, health and nutraceutical industries.
Andy was born in a small village close to Hanjiang River in Hanzhong Shaanxi province, China. Thirty years ago, when she was still a little child, she caught a cold, but the 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 and shredded 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 his 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 he would help to spread all herbs all over the world to give benefit to more people.
This personal journey is the heart of Andy Biotech. It’s why Andy Biotech are 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.
How emerging processing and clinical insights are shaping the natural tomato extract marketplace.
Standard lycopene is highly prone to oxidation when exposed to air, light, and heat. By utilizing molecular microencapsulation with modified starches or proteins, we shield the active lycopene structure, enabling long-lasting heat stability and improved shelf life in powder form.
Research has demonstrated that all-trans lycopene isomerizes into cis-isomers in the body, which are more readily absorbed. At Andy Biotech, we are developing production methods that selectively increase stable cis-isomers to improve physiological value.
Procurement directors require comprehensive batch-to-crop transparency. By applying blockchain tracking protocols to our agricultural supply partners, we provide customers with verified sourcing records linking each batch to specific farms.
When sourcing natural lycopene at industrial scale, corporate purchasing departments must scrutinize quality parameters beyond simple percentage metrics. Below are the key indicators that ensure standard regulatory compliance and optimal formulation behavior:
