Microbial Pigments
Microbial Pigments — Red, Pink, Violet & Purple
Colour Created Through Microbial Science
Microorganisms are a promising source of natural pigments with potential applications in the food industry. Scientists explore how selected microorganisms produce colour compounds and develop these pigments for food applications.
Depending on the microorganism and pigment produced, microbial systems can offer different colours, including red, pink, violet and purple shades.
Microbial Pigment Discovery
Exploring microorganisms for their natural colour-producing potential.
Fermentation-Based Development
Studying how controlled fermentation can support pigment production.
Colour Characterisation
Evaluating pigment shades and their behaviour under different formulation conditions.
Food Application Research
Assessing pigment suitability for different food products.

Microbial Pigments
Microbial Pigments —
Yellow, Golden, Orange & Red
From Microorganisms to Natural Colour Solutions
Certain microorganisms, including selected bacteria, can produce carotenoid pigments that contribute yellow, golden, orange and red shades. These pigments are studied for their colour properties and potential use in food formulations.
Through microbial research and fermentation, scientists investigate pigment production, colour intensity and stability during processing and storage.
Carotenoid Research
Studying microbial pigments responsible for yellow, orange and red shades.
