The invention relates to the technical field of crystal preparation, and particularly discloses a lycopene crystal as well as a preparation method and application thereof. The lycopene crystal has five diffraction peaks with the diffraction peak area intensity larger than 20%, and the diffraction peaks are located at the following diffraction angles 2 theta: 5.20 +/-0.20 degrees, 16.24 +/-0.20 degrees, 20.84 +/-0.20 degrees, 22.27 +/-0.20 degrees and 24.55 +/-0.20 degrees. The crystal is remarkably improved in product quality and utilization rate, is high in purity, strong in stability and bright in color, and is suitable for being applied to foods and beverages. 本发明涉及晶体制备技术领域，具体公开了一种番茄红素晶体及其制备方法与应用。本发明的番茄红素晶体，存在5个衍射峰面积强度＞20％的衍射峰，所述衍射峰位于以下衍射角2θ处：5.20±0.20°、16.24±0.20°、20.84±0.20°、22.27±0.20°、24.55±0.20°。该晶体在产品品质及利用率上均有显著提升，纯度高、稳定性强、颜色鲜艳，适于在食品、饮料中的应用。
