Less stability and limited diversity in terms ofcolorshade are still problems of natural colorants [6]. The latter drawbacks can be optimized by using environmentally friendly and selective extraction processes that provide a balance between potency, safety, and stability of the resultingextracts. This study explores the sustainable extraction of natural pigments from Mediterranean plant sources, focusing on valorizing floral andfruitwaste as renewable resources for eco-friendly colorants.
A selection of species native to the Valencian Community, Rosa grandiflora, Helianthus annuus, Calendula officinalis, Rubus ulmifolius, Juglans regia, Solanum lycopersicum, Punica granatum, Prunus ... Additionally, many plant -extractcolorsare associated with certain flavors or aromas, which can add to the overall sensory experience of the food. For example, somefruit- based plantextractscan impart bothcolorand a fruity flavor.
How do plant -extractcolorsprotect plants from environmental stressors? Pigments are substances that givecolorto different types of products from the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industry, which are naturally found in different kinds offruitsand are classified as natural dyes. For the study of extraction method, it is not enough to consider only the extraction medium; it is necessary to have in-depth knowledge of how to maintain its stability and how a ... The overall results suggest that thefruitextractof Monotheca buxifolia is suitable for manufacturing eco-friendlycolorsfor various industries as a safer and sustainable alternative to non ...
This chapter deals with the variouscolorpigments available in natural habitat and potential methods for their extraction in usable form. When thecoloris water soluble and is contained within thefruitof the source - like with red beets or purple carrots - physical methods, such as juicing by crushing or grinding, are most commonly used. In this processing, the beets or carrots are run through a machine that crushes them until all the juice is extracted.
Dragonfruit(Hylocereus polyrhizus), which comes from the family of Cactaceae, is one of the tropicalfruitsin Malaysia. The peels of red dragonfruitconsist of a high content of betacyanin pigment, which responsible for the red-violet colour even though the peel always regarded as a waste. This study aims to evaluate the natural pigmentextractfrom dragonfruitspeels using water as a ...
