摘要:
The present invention refers to a process to obtain a lycopene-enriched formulation free of organic solvents that comprises: (a) mixing a lycopene source with an extractant lipid, and (b) separating the lipidic phase obtained in step (a) to obtain the lycopene-enriched formulation free of organic solvents; in which the mixture in step (a) is carried out in the absence of organic solvents. The invention also refers to the formulations obtained in this way and to compositions that comprise them. These formulations and compositions have antioxidant properties and are useful to manufacture nutraceutical, cosmetic, pharmaceutical or food products.
