Safety Evaluation of Fungal Pigments for Food Applications [PDF]
Journal of Fungi (Basel, Switzerland), 2021 Pigments play a major role in many industries. Natural colors are usually much safer when compared to synthetic colors and may even possess some medicinal benefits. Synthetic colors are economical and can easily be produced compared to natural colors. In addition, raw plant materials for natural colors are limited and season dependent.
