Objective: to find a modern technology to produce honey fortified naturally with lycopene extracted from tomatoes and to examine the bioactivity of the novel product. Materials and methods: Lycopene was extracted from tomatoes, tomatoes peels and tomatoes juice, the presence of lycopene and its concentrations was detected using UV-vis., the extracted lycopene was added to natural honey in different concentrations, the presence of lycopene in naturally fortified honey produced using HPLC technology was detected and active ingredients were detected using GC-MASS technology. Results: the tomatoes peels gave the highest concentration of lycopene compared to other parts, it gave a value of 0.52 relay factor (Rf) in addition to the appearance of a peak at a retention time (Rt) of 11.3 minutes corresponding to the standard lycopene top retention time, when performing a spectrophotometry between (300-600nm), pure lycopene gave three peaks at 440,460, 503nm wavelengths, and the retention coefficient (COD) is 0.98, 1.00, and 0.96 respectively. The effectiveness of enzymes (SOD) and (GPX) when treating with CCl4, it was found that the effectiveness of the two enzymes increased when using honey and lycopene in its various forms, as shown in results, a number of raw lycopene components appear in fortified honey such as; Ibuprofen, anti-inflammatory, sedative and substance, 1-Tetrazol-2-ylethanone, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anti-epileptic, anti-viral, antihypertensive, anti-malarial drug, anti- anxiety, depression, antihistamine, and 4H-Pyran-4 -one, 2,3-dihydro-3,5-dihydroxy-6-methyl which is an anti- cancer substance. Conclusion: the new honey fortified with lycopene shows a high activity against microbes, and also can be applied as anti-depression, anti-allergic and more.

Lycopene is one of potential antioxidants which has anti-aging effect. Tomato products, especially tomato paste contains a lot of lycopenes. During storage, the autooxidation of lycopene causes the instability of lycopene itself. Lycopene can be degradated and it will lead to fragmentation of the lycopene molecule. The addition of oil can prevent the autooxidation process in lycopene by blocking this action. The aim of this research is to determine the effect of Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) addition on physicochemical stability of tomato paste. In this research, tomato paste was made by steaming method and the preparation resulted in two types, tomato paste with EVOO addition and tomato paste without EVOO addition. The physicochemical stability was examined in real-time test and thermal cycling test methods. The evaluation of characteristics included organoleptic, spreadibility, pH, and tomato paste content as lycopene levels. The real-time measurements (25-28oC) showed that the addition of EVOO could maintain the tomato paste characteristic (organoleptic, spreadibility, pH, and tomato paste content). The reaction rate (k) showed that the stability of lycopene content in tomato paste either with or without EVOO addition followed the first order reaction. As a result, it was found that tomato paste without EVOO addition had lower stability compared to tomato paste with EVOO addition. Temperature changes in the thermal cycling test method did not affect the organoleptic, pH, and lycopene content stability of tomato paste.
According to epidemiological statistics, eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables can help prevent oral cancer in a variety of ways. Lycopene is a reddish-colored carotenoid found in abundance in tomatoes and other fruits and vegetables. It is reported to be beneficial in the treatment of chronic disorders such as cancer and cardiovascular disease. Hence, the objective of this study is to summarise the lycopene's features and analyse its potential function in the development and treatment of oral precancerous lesions and mouth cancer. Lycopene has been proven to be useful in the treatment of various precancerous lesions in the oral cavity, including oral submucous fibrosis and oral leukoplakia, and could be used in concert with other medications to prevent and treat oral cancer. Lycopene's role in preventing and treating a variety of diseases is still in its infancy, and further study and large-scale clinical trials are needed to substantiate the findings. We explored the effect of Lycopene in oral illness in this review.
