 | | LYCORED GAINS SKIN PROTECTION PATENT | | | International Food Ingredients | | 30/05/2008 | | | Lycored’s carotenoid composition of lycopene, phytoene, phytofluene and, optionally, vitamin E, that protects the skin from the damaging effects of UV radiation has been granted patent protection in Australia.
The tomato carotenoid composition helps prevent sunburn when taken orally, and can be delivered via a dietary supplement or in a fortified food or beverage.
“This is a natural lycopene composition that can be either encapsulated in a soft gel or easily added to a beverage to create a year round fortified sun protection drink,” explains Zohar Nir, Lycored’s vice president of new product
development. “While it does not replace topical sunscreen, when taken daily, it provides a degree of both UVA and UVB protection even during months of the year when one is not likely to apply a topical lotion.”
