Sustainability and Corporate Responsibility

Lycored production process is optimized to get the most out of our tomatoes, with as little waste creation as possible. We use our own breeds – with our red tomato 4 times richer in lycopene than standard tomatoes you’ll find at the grocery store and our golden tomato created specifically for its natural phytonutrients perfectly suited for skin structure and wellness. 

After our luscious tomatoes have soaked in the sun of California and Israel and been harvested, the tomatoes are sorted and washed. Their skins, stems and seeds are then removed and repurposed into the agricultural industry. So nothing goes to waste.

Finally, we use mechanical crushing, deaeration, cooling, and heating to separate the fiber tomato pulp and liquid serum. The liquid serum contains the delicious taste characteristics that make up our taste enhancers SANTE and CTC. The fiber tomato pulp contains a wealth of goodness that’s not only extracted for our red to pink colors but also the health and wellness components for our proprietary nutrients and lycopene solutions. The remaining pulp is used for our LycoFibers texture enhancer. 

Lycored strives to create strong partnerships with our suppliers and consumers that are built on a joint effort to amplify the positive impact we can have on society, safeguarding our natural resources and environment, protecting labor and human rights, and acting ethically. This sustainable procurement procedure outlines Lycored’s commitment to ensure that the way we conduct business with our suppliers is done according to high environmental, social, and ethical standards.
