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.
