Microbial Pigments in the Food Industry—Challenges and the Way Forward [PDF]

Frontiers in Nutrition, 2019
Developing new colors for the food industry is challenging, as colorants need to be compatible with a food flavors, safety, and nutritional value, and which ultimately have a minimal impact on the price of the product. In addition, food colorants should preferably be natural rather than synthetic compounds.

Airborne bacterial populations above desert soils of the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica [PDF]

, 2014
Bacteria are assumed to disperse widely via aerosolized transport due to their small size and resilience. The question of microbial endemicity in isolated populations is directly related to the level of airborne exogenous inputs, yet this has proven hard

Microbial Pigments-A Short Review

IOSR Journal of Environmental Science, Toxicology and Food Technology, 2016
Color is the main feature of any food item as it enhances the appeal and acceptability of food. In the recent years, coloring of food with pigments produced from natural sources is of worldwide interest and is gaining importance. Several types of dyes are available in the market as colouring agents to food commodities but biocolorants are now gaining ...
