Embodiment Construction

[0010] The present invention provides stable multi-carotenoids compositions useful for oral administration as nutritional supplements, wherein the compositions comprise at least lycopene, phytoene, phytofluene components contained within an extract produced from tomato fruits. Suitable tomato fruits are produced by non-genetically engineered plants, and preferably contain high concentrations of lycopene. The compositions are preferably encased in a soft gel capsule and may additionally comprise an edible oil exemplified by soya oil, pumpkin seed oil, grapeseed oil and the like.

[0011] The lycopene, phytoene and phytofluene components are preferably processed from tomato fruits into extracts. The components may be concentrated by removing water from the extracts thereby producing thickened pulps that contain therein the lycopene, phytoene and phytofluene components, and additionally comprise β-carotene, γ-carotene, δ-carotene, vitamin E, a plurality of phytosterols and phospholipids....
