I'm not familiar with this and couldn't find it on "chemfinder." Could you give us a little more info on the compound?

Does it absorb UV light? Is it polar or unpolar, is it volatile, ...
Please give us some information!!!

Very carefully....
There are many references out there for this - check pubmed, the journal of agricultural and food chemistry to start. Shouldn't be too terribly hard with reversed phase / uv or PDA detection.
Lycopenes are found in tomatoes - I believe they're anti-oxidants.

Any method that can be used for Carotenes can also be used for Lycopene.
