Tomato extract

Tomato extract (CAS 90131-63-8) is a concentrated botanical ingredient derived from Solanum lycopersicum fruit, standardized for its naturally occurring lycopene, carotenoids, and polyphenol content. It functions as both a flavoring agent and an antioxidant stabilizer across food, cosmetic, and nutraceutical applications. In food and beverage manufacturing, it delivers authentic tomato flavor and color.

This extract is used in sauces, soups, seasonings, and processed food products without requiring fresh fruit handling. Nutraceutical and supplement formulators use standardized tomato extract as a lycopene source. It is commonly found in softgels, capsules, and functional food formats targeting antioxidant positioning. Personal care manufacturers incorporate it into skin-care formulations such as serums, creams, and masks.

Its carotenoid content supports antioxidant claims in product marketing. Pharmaceutical and health product developers also use it as a botanical active in standardized herbal preparations for various health products. Tomato extract is supplied as a spray-dried powder, liquid concentrate, or oil-dispersible form, depending on the intended application. Food-grade and cosmetic-grade specifications are the most commonly available.

Some suppliers offering standardized grades defined by lycopene content typically ranging from 5 to 20 percent. Organic-certified material is available from select sources for clean-label and natural formulation requirements.
