Source-verified botanical raw materials tested via HPLC, UV, and GC with batch-specific Certificates of Analysis for European food and nutraceutical developers.
A comprehensive examination of Tomato Extract Lycopene (Solanum lycopersicum L., CAS 502-65-8) stabilization, delivery systems, and downstream compatibility.
Natural tomato lycopene predominantly exists in the all-trans configuration, which is inherently vulnerable to photo-oxidation and thermal cleavage. Through low-temperature Supercritical CO2 extraction paired with nitrogen-flushed crystallization, we preserve the conjugated polyene chain (11 conjugated double bonds), delivering maximum quenching capacity against singlet oxygen without chemical isomerization degradation.
Addressing the lipophilic hydrophobic nature of crystalline lycopene, our Celje-ready batches feature advanced Cold Water Soluble (CWS) beadlets. Utilizing natural gum acacia, modified food starches, and non-GMO ascorbyl palmitate as protective colloidal carriers, our formulations disperse instantaneously into transparent or opalescent matrices without phase separation or sedimentation.
Every commercial drum exported to Celje, Ljubljana, and Maribor meets the stringent criteria of the European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.) and Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 for contaminants. Assays undergo high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) calibration with dual UV/VIS photodiode array detection at 472 nm to distinguish active lycopene from secondary carotenoid pigments.
Standardized raw material matrices for pharmaceutical manufacturing, functional beverages, and clinical dietary supplements.

| Natural Tomato Oleoresin (CO2 Extracted) | 6.0% – 15.0% Natural Complex | Lipid Oleoresin with natural phytoene/phytofluene | Viscous deep-red pourable fluid | Nutraceutical softgel complexes, lipid-shielded tablets |
The Savinja region, anchored by Celje, is a strategic junction for chemical synthesizing, functional nutrition contract manufacturing, and clean-label dietary exports.
Celje’s nutraceutical developers are actively formulating synergistic arterial formulas. Lycopene’s potent inhibition of LDL oxidation and serum lipid peroxidation makes it a central ingredient when compounded with Olive Leaf Extract (Oleuropein) and Red Ginseng Ginsenosides. Local producers leverage its clinical backing to target Central Europe’s aging demographic.
Slovenian supplement brand owners are innovating private-label men's multi-nutrient capsules. By pairing standard 10% Lycopene Beadlets with Epimedium (Horny Goat Weed) extract and standardized Saw Palmetto, manufacturers in Celje and nearby industrial parks produce premium capsules complying with Slovenian Ministry of Health registration protocols.
The thriving dermo-cosmetic research sector across Savinjska utilizes water-dispersible lycopene micro-powders alongside GHK-Cu Copper Tripeptide-1 and Hydrolyzed Pearl Powder. Oral photo-protection drinks and anti-photoaging capsules integrate lycopene to elevate systemic cutaneous defenses against UV-induced erythema and collagen degradation.
Celje’s dynamic food-processing facilities, moving away from artificial azo dyes (such as Allura Red AC), deploy our natural tomato lycopene oleoresins. Delivering radiant red to deep orange hues, our heat-stable and pH-resistant solutions withstand commercial pasteurization and UHT processing in yogurts, dairy beverages, dressings, and extruded pasta.
Situated along European transport corridors, Celje serves as a central warehousing and redistribution nexus for Slovenia, Austria, Croatia, and Northern Italy. Bulk shipments received at Koper port or via air freight are processed rapidly, making stable bulk powder supply an indispensable requirement for local B2B distributors.
Merging Shaanxi’s vast botanical resource advantages with academic-grade analytical chemistry to eliminate supply chain unpredictability.
Xi'an Sirn Bio-Tech Co., Ltd. operates a cutting-edge extraction facility housing 4 standard industrial lines, 2 specialized pilot lines, and a dedicated Class 100,000 GMP clean workshop. We bridge the gap between crude botanical harvest and pharmaceutical validation.
Through our long-standing academic joint laboratories with Xi'an Jiaotong University, Northwest University, and Xi'an University of Science and Technology, we provide complete technical transparency. From quantitative HPLC chromatographic profiles and residual ethyl acetate assays to ICP-MS heavy metal sweeps, our quality documentation fulfills all requirements enforced by Slovenian health inspection agencies.
Practical guidance addressing logistical routes, regulatory certifications, shelf-life verification, and custom specifications.
For urgent R&D trials, samples and parcels under 100 kg ship via DHL/FedEx Express directly to Celje with transit times of 4 to 6 business days. Commercial drum shipments are routed via air cargo to Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport (LJU) or sea freight through the Port of Koper (Luka Koper), completing customs clearance in 18 to 25 days door-to-door.
Yes. Our extraction utilizes either clean Supercritical Fluid Carbon Dioxide (SFE-CO2) or food-grade ethanol. Residual solvent profiles comply with ICH Q3C Guidelines and EU Regulation 2009/32/EC. We certify that banned halogenated solvents or class 1 hydrocarbons (like hexane or benzene) are never used at any step.
Yes. Our baseline minimum order quantity (MOQ) for standardized extracts is 1 kg, sealed in vacuum-packed double aluminum foil bags. This enables product formulation, stability testing, and pilot production in your Celje laboratories before placing commercial multi-drum purchase orders.
Our bulk powders are double-bagged with medical-grade PE inner liners inside food-grade vacuum aluminum barrier foil bags, accompanied by food-grade oxygen absorbers and desiccant packs, then secured in reinforced fiber drums. This multi-barrier defense ensures zero oxidative potency loss during temperature variations encountered during transit.
Every commercial consignment includes a verified Batch Certificate of Analysis (COA) specifying assay levels, particle mesh size, microbiological counts, and heavy metal concentrations. Additional dossiers available on request include Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), Non-GMO Declarations, Allergen Statements, Process Flow Charts, and BSE/TSE Free Statements.
Through our dedicated pilot lines, we offer contract formulation services to adapt lycopene to your precise application needs. We produce custom concentrations, vegetarian-certified beadlet matrices, clean-label carrier systems, and dry premixes combining lycopene with secondary botanical extracts or mineral chelates.
Consult with our phytochemists to review raw material specifications, request third-party verified samples, and secure competitive B2B export pricing direct from our manufacturing facility.
