Study on quality standard for lycopene soft gels
To establish the quality standard for lycopene soft gels. The qualitative identifications of lycopene in lycopene soft gels were performed by TLC and the lcopene in the formulation was quantified by HPLC. On the optimal conditions, lycopene in lycopene soft gels can be qualitative and quantitative identified. Calibration curves were found to be linear with the ranges of 0.14～44.0 μg/mL. The correlation coefficient of the calibration curve for the lycopene was 0.9999. The average recovery was 99.3% and RSD was 2.80% . This reliable, accurate and specific method can be used for quality control of lycopene soft gels.
