It solves the problems, such as: a kind of property of the crystalline lycopene with better long-time stability and colorant is provided.SOLUTION: a kind of composition is provided, composition is the lycopene crystal of tomato, and the concentration for including is at least 70% (w/w) and methene chloride insoluble material concentration 10% (weight) or lower, wherein the size of lycopene crystal is less than 1 micron. Also provide the preparation method of the composition, comprising: starch and separate from crushed tomato, it is at least 2000 that wherein paper pulp, which has a lycopene concentration, It extracts slurry and solvent obtains oleoresin Separating lycopene crystal is from oleoresin in oleoresin Lycopene crystal is put into liquid medium in oleoresin, will not dissolve lycopene in this way And rolling over broken crystal is average grain diameter less than 1 micron.In selected attached drawing: noneCOPYRIGHT:(C) 2016, JPO& INPIT
