Optimizing the extraction of melanin bio-composition from squid ink Sepia pharaonis [PDF]
بومشناسی آبزیان, 2021 Melanin is known as one of the main pigment components of ink in pharaoh cuttlefish, which has a strong bond with the hydroxyl group of TiO2. The aim of this study was to determine the appropriate method for extracting melanin from the ink of pharaoh ...

Redox activity of melanin from the ink sac ofSepia officinalisby means of colorimetric oxidative assay [PDF]
Natural Product Research, 2015 The redox properties of natural extract from cuttlefish ink sac (Sepia officinalis) and synthetic melanin used as a biomimetic in melanin structural investigation were determined by comparison of this phenol-based heterogeneous pigment with gallic acid used as a standard in Folin–Ciocalteu colorimetric assay widely employed for characterisation of ...

E-cigarette flavoring chemicals and vehicles adversely impact the functions of pigmented human retinal ARPE-19 cells [PDF]
Toxicology ReportsElectronic cigarettes (ECs) have been shown to adversely impact the human eye's retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Flavored e-liquids induced cytotoxicity in unpigmented human ARPE-19 cells independent of nicotine's presence in my previous study.

Isolation and characterization of melanin from black garlic and sepia ink
LWT - Food Science and Technology, 2019 Abstract Melanin was isolated from a plant source (black garlic: BG) and characterized and compared with melanin obtained from an animal source (sepia ink: SI). SEM observations showed that both melanins were spherical with the diameter of 100–1200 nm and 100–200 nm for BG and SI melanin, respectively.

Ritualized ink use during visual courtship display by males of the sexually dimorphic cuttlefish Sepia andreana. [PDF]
Ecol EvolCephalopods may release ink when attacked by predators, but we have discovered that ink is used as a part of the courtship display by males of the cuttlefish species Sepia andreana. Males of this species engage in a highly ritualized multi‐modal courtship using a pair of markedly long sexually dimorphic arms, and at the climax of the courtship, the ...
