Plant Pigments and Their Manipulation by Kevin Davies

By Kevin Davies

Plant pigments symbolize a wide and lively box of analysis that affects primary reviews of plant functionality and gene expression, agriculture, the processing of meals and human healthiness. Plant Pigments and Their Manipulation presents a extensive evaluation of all of the significant plant pigment teams, contemplating the underlying biology, genetic manipulation, and functions of plant pigments inside agriculture, nutrients expertise and human overall healthiness. this article is directed at researchers and execs operating in plant genetics, biochemistry, body structure and molecular biology.

Around 300 000 tonnes are produced annually in India, mostly for spice with a small amount for preparation of pure curcumin (Francis, 1996). Anthocyanins are widely used as food colourants (Jackman & Smith, 1996). First described as pH indicators, the colours of anthocyanin vary greatly on the pH of the food, but generally are used only in acidic foods and provide red to blue AN INTRODUCTION TO PLANT PIGMENTS IN BIOLOGY AND COMMERCE 15 Fig. 3 Diagrammatic representation of the major coloured constituents of common plant-based food colourants.
