  • Kaolin has long been used in aqueous coatings to produce high-quality coated paper products. While the kaolin industry hat always focused on innovation. the rate of new product introduction hat never been greater than in the past five-to-eight years due to the cost, quality and other competitive pressure facing papermakers. After summarizing many of the performance benefits offered by the new generation of kaolin-baled pigments. this paper reviews four specific pigment advances: a high-performance. ultrafine glossing pigment; an engineered pigment with a narrow particle size distribution; two products from a kaolin-based pigment family developed for metered size presses ; and a novel class of inkjet pigments.

  • In the present study, four distinctly colored bacterial isolates that show intense pigmentation upon brief ultraviolet (UV) light exposure are chosen. The strains are identified as Micrococcus luteus (Milky yellow), Cryseobacterium pallidum (Yellow), Cryseobacterium spp. (Golden yellow), and Kocuria turfanensis (Pink) based on their morphological and 16S rDNA analysis. Moderate salinity (1.25%), 25-37℃ temperature, and pH of 7.2 are found to be the most favorable conditions of growth and pigment production for all the selected isolates. The pigments are extracted using methanol: chloroform (1:1) and the purity of the pigments are confirmed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and thin-layer chromatography (TLC). Further, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and UV-Visible spectroscopy indicate their resemblance with carotenoids and flexirubin family. The antioxidant activities of the pigments are estimated, and, all the pigments have shown significant antioxidant efficacy in 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS), 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH), and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assays. The UV protective property of the pigments is determined by cling-film assay, wherein, at least 25% of UV sensitive Escherichia coli survive with bio-pigments even after 90 seconds of UV exposure compared to control. The pigments also hold a good sun protective factor (SPF) value (1.5-4.9) which is calculated with the Mansur equation. Based on these results, it can be predicted that these bacterial pigments can be further developed into a promising antioxidant and UV-protectant for several biomedical applications.

  • 도시 Traditionally, dyes extracted from onion shells have been used as natural pigments but dyeing methods with reproducibility have not been developed. In this study, the dyes were analyzed by high performance thin layer chromatography(HPTLC) to obtain the ratio of pigments in water and ethyl acetate extract. Furthermore, the present study was also carried out to obtain the information characteristic of wavelength which proportionally decrease for continuous dyeing reaction. Scanning of water extract showed 4 peaks by the mobile phase of benzene/ethyl acetate/acetic acid(40/10/5) and the peak 1 exhibited yellow color with the maximal absorption spectra of 306nm and 309nm while ethyl acetate extract showed 9 peaks in the same mobile phase. The water extract after ethyl acetate extraction was adjusted to 0.5 of O.D.(optical density) at 550nm by adding of water and compared wavelength of the pigments from 200 to 600nm to find the proportional decrease of wavelength. As the result, it showed that wavelength of 306nm could be the standard of dyeing monitoring points.

  • High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) 분석방법은 식물플랑크톤의 생물량 및 일차생산력을 추정하기 위한 지시자로서 chlorophyll a 농도를 측정하고 carotenoids의 종류를 파악해 종조성을 확인하기 위해 널리 이용되고 있다. 그러나 대량시료의 분석에 요구되는 시료 전처리 과정 중 여과지 분쇄는 상당한 시간과 숙련이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 엽록소 및 carotenoids의 정량분석에 대한 여과지 분쇄의 영향을 파악하고자 동해 남서부 해역의 시료를 이용해 여과지 분쇄 전후의 광합성 색소 농도를 비교 평가했다. HPLC 분석에서 여과지 분쇄 생략 시 Chl a의 경우 평균 45% 과소평가되었다. 또한 pico, nano 크기 식물플랑크톤의 지표색소인 Zeaxanthin, 19'-butanoyloxyfucoxanthin, 19'-hexanoyloxyfucoxanthin는 최대 77~85% 과소평가되었다. 크기가 작은 식물플랑크톤의 경우 여과지 분쇄가 생략될 경우 불완전한 추출로 지표색소의 농도가 실제보다 저평가될 가능성이 크다는 것을 확인하였다. 따라서 HPLC 분석에서 여과지 분쇄 생략 시 Chl a 뿐 아니라 carotenoids 또한 과소평가 되므로 모든 경우에서 여과지 분쇄 과정이 반드시 필요하다고 판단된다.

  • The Monascus azaphilone (MAz) pigment is a well-known food colorant that has yellow, orange and red components. The structures of the yellow and orange MAz differ by two hydride reductions, with yellow MAz being the reduced form. Orange MAz can be non-enzymatically converted to red MAz in the presence of amine derivatives. It was previously demonstrated that mppE and mppG are involved in the biosynthesis of yellow and orange MAz, respectively. However, ${\Delta}mppE$ and ${\Delta}mppG$ knockout mutants maintained residual production of yellow and orange MAz, respectively. In this study, we deleted the region encompassing mppD, mppE and mppG in M. purpureus and compared the phenotype of the resulting mutant (${\Delta}mppDEG$) with that of an mppD knockout mutant (${\Delta}mppD$). It was previously reported that the ${\Delta}mppD$ strain retained the ability to produce MAz but at approximately 10% of the level observed in the wildtype strain. A chemical analysis demonstrated that the ${\Delta}mppDEG$ strain was still capable of producing both yellow and orange MAz, suggesting the presence of minor MAz route(s) not involving mppE or mppG. Unexpectedly, the ${\Delta}mppDEG$ strain was observed to accumulate fast-eluting pigments in a reverse phase high-performance liquid chromatography analysis. A LC-MS analysis identified these pigments as ethanolamine derivatives of red MAz, which had been previously identified in an mppE knockout mutant that produces high amounts of orange MAz. Although the underlying mechanism is largely unknown, this study has yielded an M. purpureus strain that selectively accumulates red MAz.

  • Recently, the construction industry has seen the emergence of interior and exterior finishes using ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) and colored concrete products using precast concrete (PC). However, the excessive amount of pigment used for coloring reduces the strength of the concrete. There is a need to improve the durability and chromaticity of colored concrete, and further analytical studies on the properties of colored concrete are also required. Therefore, in this paper, colored ultra-high strength cement composites (C-UHSCC) containing red and green inorganic pigments were prepared, and the compressive strength and color of the specimens were measured according to the age, and the correlation between strength and color was analyzed by simple linear regression analysis using R2 value. The results showed that the red color was highly correlated with L* and a*, and the green color was highly correlated with a*. These results can be considered for various concrete formulations, but research is needed to suggest the optimal pigment mixing ratio for proper strength and color development.

  • DKxanthenes are a class of yellow secondary metabolites produced by myxobacterial genera Myxococcus and Stigmatella. We identified a putative 49.5 kb DKxanthene biosynthetic gene cluster from Myxococcus stipitatus DSM 14675 by genomic sequence and mutational analyses. The cluster consisted of 15 genes (MYSTI_06004-MYSTI_06018) encoding polyketide synthases, non-ribosomal peptide synthases, and proteins with unknown functions. Disruption of the genes by plasmid insertion resulted in defects in the production of yellow pigments. High-performance liquid chromatography and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analyses indicated that the yellow pigments produced by M. stipitatus DSM 14675 might be novel DKxanthene derivatives. M. stipitatus did not require DKxanthenes for the formation of heat-resistant viable spores, unlike Myxococcus xanthus. Furthermore, DKxanthenes showed growth inhibitory activity against the fungi Aspergillus niger, Candida albicans, and Rhizopus stolonifer.

  • 멕시코 만에서 1987~1988년에 부유 및 칩강입자에 존재하는 광합성 색소 및 그 분해산물은 HPLC를 이용하여 측정하였다. 클로로필과 카로틴계열 및 그 분해산물의 단기 침하율이 Cold-Core Ring 과 Warm-Core Ring에서 비교 분석되었다. 클로로필 a는 CCR과 WCR에서 공통적으로 우세한 포르피린이었으며 카로틴계열 색소 중에는 19'-hwxanoyloxyfucoxanthin이 우세하였다. 초식자의 섭이과정에서 생성되는 것으로 알려진 phaeophobide a가 조사지역 침강입자에 우세하게 나타나는 분해색소 이었따. CCR에서의 전체색소 침하율은 WCR보다 한단게 높게 나타났다. WCR에서 색소현존량은 하루에 1% 이하가 유광밖으로 침하 되었는데 이 사실은 멕시코 만에서 부유고형입자의 재순환은 빠르게 일어나고 있지 않음을 의미한다.

  • The UV-B sensitivity was tested for the intertidal species Chondrus ocellatus from Korea, by measuring photosynthesis estimated as effective quantum yield ($\Phi_{PSII}$) of photosystem II (PS II), growth and content and composition of photosynthetic pigments and UV-absorbing pigments (UVAPs). The $$\Phi_{PSII}$ of the alga decreased with increasing time of exposure to UV-B radiation, followed by fast and nearly full recovery indicating dynamic photoinhibiton. Fresh weight-based growth and pigment contents of C. ocellatus were not seriously affected by UV-B radiation. A single broad peak at 327 nm was obtained from methanol extracts of C. ocellatus, and the absorbance peak increased with increasing UV. The single peak was resolved into three peaks (311, 330 and 336 nm) by the fourth -derivative, and quantitative change in response to UV-B radiation occurred only at 330 nm. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis of purified extracts indicated that three MAAs (mycosporine-like amino acids) are present, asterina 330, palythine and shinorine. Field observations during three growing months showed that C. ocellatus exhibit the highest amount of UVAPs in May followed by July and little trace in September, coinciding with the species' phenology. In an ecological context, dynamic photoinhibition as well as accumulation of UVAPs may enable the shallow water red alga C. ocellatus to be well adapted to high UV-B environments.
