Abstract :
<p> <span style="text-align: justify; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">The research involves extraction and isolation of Lycopene and finding out its concentration from the different fruits and vegetables. Lycopene is a carotenoid pigment with potent antioxidant activity present in various fruits and vegetables and it is responsible to impart red color to them. [1]<sup> </sup>It shows good anticancer activity along with inhibit low density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation in combination with Vitamin E. [2] Although lycopene is chemically a carotene, it has no </span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_A" title="Vitamin A" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif; mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font: major-bidi;color:windowtext;text-decoration:none;text-underline:none">vitamin A</span></a><span style="text-align: justify; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"> activity. [3] This study includes the quantity analysis of different fruits and vegetables like Tomato, Papaya and Watermelon and there dehydrated forms for their isolation of lycopene content per 100gm of the product.<i> </i>Extraction and isolation of lycopene was done by taking benzene as a solvent and recrystallization done by organic ether.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-align: justify;line-height:200%;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:200%;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif; mso-ascii-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-hansi-theme-font:major-bidi;mso-bidi-theme-font: major-bidi"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
