 Tomatine

Ameson et al. studied the inhibitory effect of lycopene on more than 30 pathogenic bacteria and found that 0.lmg/mL of lycopene completely inhibited Candida albicans, and also had significant inhibitory effect on dermatophytes such as Trichophyton rubrum and Audubon's ringworm, and its ointment has been used clinically for the treatment of dermatophyte infections, and also found that there was a difference in the inhibitory effect of lycopene on tomato pathogenic and non-pathogenic bacteria. The inhibitory effect of lycopene on tomato pathogenic bacteria, such as septorialycopersici and Alternariasp, was weak, while lycopene had a weak inhibitory effect on tomato non-pathogenic bacteria, such as septoriag}vcines and Heluiinthosporitun- turcicum), etc., were strongly inhibited. By studying the inhibitory effect of lycopene on common putrefactive bacteria in food, Wang Yanzhang et al. found that lycopene showed strong inhibition at pH 7-8 and weak inhibition at pH 5. Barbour et al. studied the effect of lycopene on potato leaf beetle and found that lycopene induced outbreak activity in the outer Jungle and attachment receptor cells of potato beetle and caused irreversible damage to amino acid sensitive cells. irreversible damage to amino acid sensitive cells.
