Evaluations

Evaluation year: 2009
ADI: NOT SPECIFIED
Meeting: 21
Specs Code: O
Comments: group ADI “not specified” for lycopene from all sources when used as food colour. Hence, the previous group ADI of 0–0.5 mg/kg for lycopene has been withdrawn. The group ADI “not specified” applies to synthetic lycopene, lycopene derived from the fungus Blakeslea trispora and lycopene extract from tomato that comply with the specifications, when used in accordance with Good Manufacturing Practice.

Molecular FrameworkAliphatic acyclic compounds
SubstituentsCarotene - Branched unsaturated hydrocarbon - Unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon - Unsaturated hydrocarbon - Olefin - Acyclic olefin - Hydrocarbon - Aliphatic acyclic compound
DescriptionThis compound belongs to the class of organic compounds known as carotenes. These are a type of unsaturated hydrocarbons containing eight consecutive isoprene units. They are characterized by the presence of two end-groups (mostly cyclohexene rings, but also cyclopentene rings or acyclic groups) linked by a long branched alkyl chain. Carotenes belonging form a subgroup of the carotenoids family.
