Abstract
The present invention discloses a method for preparing a lycopene micro-capsule powder, wherein lycopene is fully mixed with an aqueous phase to obtain a lycopene emulsion, and the emulsion is then ground to a particle size less than 1 μm, and spray dried. The aqueous phase comprises: a gelatin enzymatic hydrolysate with a molecular weight of 5,000-10,000 Da, disaccharide, polysaccharide, and an antioxidant. The disaccharide is one or more of sucrose, maltose and lactose; and the polysaccharide is one or more of pullulan and chitosan.
