Lycopene, a carotenoid used as a natural colorant for decades, is a powerful antioxidant abundant in tomatoes and other red fruits. Following studies in the context of health that started some 30 years ago, lycopene is emerging as a valued antioxidant, with many new applications as a nutritional supplement and an active ingredient in cosmetic products. This study provides an overview of the emerging utilization and extraction methods in the context of intense fundamental and applied research that is eventually unveiling the full potential of this important terpene.
