The ability to neutralize free radicals via lycopene is one of the foundations of its pro-health effect. The pharmacological activity of Lycopene includes antioxidant, antibacterial, hypolipidemic, anticancer, immunity-enhancing, hepatoprotective, hypoglycemic, cardiovascular-protective, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and osteoporosis-inhibiting effects. Lycopene demonstrated to be a potential alternative to traditional artificial antioxidants, with significant health benefits when applied to food preservation.
