A Review Article on Edible Pigments Properties and Sources as Natural Biocolorants in Foodstuff and Food Industry
Consumers are avoiding foods containing synthetic colourants, which lead food industries to replace them by natural pigments. Food colorants may be classified into synthetic, nature-identical, inorganic and natural colorants. Natural colorants for food are made from renewable sources. Most often, the colorants are extracted from plant material, but other sources such as insects, algae, cyanobac...
متن کاملIdentification of potentially safe promising fungal cell factories for the production of polyketide natural food colorants using chemotaxonomic rationale
BACKGROUND Colorants derived from natural sources look set to overtake synthetic colorants in market value as manufacturers continue to meet the rising demand for clean label ingredients - particularly in food applications. Many ascomycetous fungi naturally synthesize and secrete pigments and thus provide readily available additional and/or alternative sources of natural colorants that are inde...
متن کاملExtraction of Natural Dye from Osyris Quadripartita and Application in Dyeing of Cotton Fabrics
Natural dyes are widely used in the coloring of food, leather and wood [1]. Traditionally they were the only colorants for textile fibers like wool, silk, cotton and flax. Their use in textiles declined drastically with the introduction of synthetic dyes in 1856 [2-6]. Presently the use of synthetic dyes is estimated at around 10,000,000 tons per annum [7-11]. The manufacture and use of this la...
متن کاملArtificial food colorants inhibit superoxide production in differentiated HL-60 cells.
We tested synthetic food colorants for their antioxidative potential by the in vitro superoxide generation assay in differentiated HL-60 cells in response to phorbol ester. Among the 12 colorants tested, such fluorescein-type red colorants as rose bengal showed potent inhibitory activity without any cytotoxicity under dark conditions. The intracellular accumulation and superoxide anion scavengi...
متن کاملUniversity of Groningen Thermostable phycocyanin from the red microalga Cyanidioschyzon merolae, a new natural blue food colorant
The demand for natural food colorants is growing as consumers question the use of artificial colorants more and more. The phycobiliprotein C-phycocyanin of Arthospira platensis is used as a natural blue colorant in certain food products . The thermoacidophi l ic red microa lga Cyanidioschyzon merolaemight provide an alternative source of phycocyanin. Cyanidioschyzon merolae belongs to the order...
