In order to develop the method for mass production of natural food colorant from Monascus anka, optimum cultivation conditions for producing red and yellow pigments by cultiva- ting the mold in a jar fermenter and their color characteristics were investigated. The mold produced red and yellow pigments both intracellularly and extracellularly. These pigments showed unique light absorption characteristics with maximum absorption of 494, 380, 506, and 388 nm for extracellular red pigment (ERP), extracellular yellow pigment (EYP), intracellular red pigment (IRP), and intracellular yellow pigment (IYP), respectively. Optimum conditions for producing red pigments were found to be temperature 30$\circ$C, initial pH 6.0, rice powder 3-5%, peptone 0.05%, magnesium sulfate 0.25%, aeration rate 0.1 vvm. Optimum temperature for producing yellow pigments was around 35$\circ$C which is higher than that of producing red pigments. The initial pH and rice powder concentration for producing yellow pigments were the same as those of producing red pigments. The higher concentration of nitrogen source and inorganic salt, aeration rate, the more the yellow pigments were produced. The optimum agitation speed was 100 - 300 rpm for pigment production.

The isolation and chemical characterization of yellow food pigments from Monascus purpureus were studied according to the compositions of media. Monacus yellow pigments were isolated and purified by solvent fractionation, silicagel column chromatography, TLC and HPLC. The retention time of Monascus yellow pigments isolated by HPLC was respectively 5 min(I) and 9 min(II) as the yeast malt extract agar(YMA) media and was respectively 4.6 min(III), 5 min(I) 5.7 min(IV), 8.3 min(V), 9 min(II) and 10.7 min(Ⅵ) at the malt extract agar(MEA) media. The structure of monascin(I), ankaflavin(II), 6,11-dihydrorubropunctatin(III), 6,11-dihydromonascorubrin(V) and unknown compounds(IV,Ⅵ) was elucidated by EI-Mass, H and C NMR, UV-visible spectrometer. Therefore, it was suggested that 6,11-dihydrorubropunctatin(III) and 6,11-dihydromonascorubrin(V) are new intermediates of Monascus yellow pigments.

홍화로부터 초임계 이산화탄소를 이용하여 황색소(safflower yellow)를 추출할 때의 최적 조건을 조사하였다. 여러 온도$(40,\;50,\;60,\;70,\;80^{\circ}C)$와 압력(2000, 3000, 4000, 5000 psig) 조건에서 추출을 하였으며 수율을 증가시키기 위해 물을 보조용매(0, 3, 6, 10, 14 wt%)로 하여 실험을 수행하였으며 색소분석은 spectrophotometer를 이용하였다. 황색소의 추출 수율은 $60^{\circ}C$, 4000 psig에서 가장 높게 나타났다. 보조용매로 물을 사용하였을 때는 10 wt%일 때 황색소의 추출이 가장 잘 되었고 그 이상에서는 오히려 추출량이 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 또한 시료의 수분함량은 초임계 유체 추출 시 수율과 밀접한 관련이 있는데 홍화의 황색소 추출 시에도 시료의 수분함량이 낮을수록 수율이 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 아울러 초임계 유체를 이용하여 최적 조건에서 추출한 경우 황색소의 수율은 용매로 추출한 경우에 비해 6% 정도 증가하였다. 상기의 결과로 초임계 이산화탄소 추출법은 홍화로부터 황색소의 추출에 적합하다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Our purpose in this study is to analyze the microstructural characteristics and constituent elements of inorganic substances added to the yellow ink and red ink pigments used in permanent makeup. We observed the microstructural properties of inorganic pigments added to the ink using a scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and analyzed the constituent elements of the inorganic pigment particles using an energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). In red wine-colored ink, cubic titanium dioxide with a diameter of 110 to 200 nm was the major component, and rod-shaped iron oxide was rarely observed. Most of the ingredients of taupe yellow ink were rod-shaped yellow iron oxide, and a small amount of cubic titanium dioxide was observed. Red wine-colored ink and taupe yellow ink contained lumps composed of titanium dioxide particles. In red wine-colored ink, lumps were formed by agglomeration. However, we observed that the surface of the lump composed of titanium dioxide in the taupe yellow ink had a smooth surface caused by external physical compression. The titanium dioxide particle mass which found in taupe yellow ink in this study is an artificial product. When this mass accumulates in the dermis, it may cause a color mismatch. Therefore, permanent makeup using fine pigments should be free of foreign substances that may cause trouble in the skin. In addition, there is a need to improve the quality of the ink so that the required color can be safe and long lasting in the dermis.

The cocoon's color of silkworm, Bombyx mori L. is usually white. But some are yellow, flesh and green colors because of modified characteristics. The yellow and flesh cocoons depend on carotenoid pigments, green cocoons are determined by flavonoid pigments. The cocoon's color is affected by the genes controlling penetration process from midgut to coelom and silk gland. Y (Yellow blood, 2-25.6) and I (Yellow-inhibitor, 9-16.2) genes are involved in the penetration process of carotenoid pigments from midgut to coelom, C (Outer-layer yellow cocoon, 12-7.2) and F (Flesh, 6-13.6) genes from coelom to silk gland. Therefore, the carotenoid cocoon's color depends on the genotype Y, I, C and F genes and their combination. Among them, C gene is sympathetic gene, which are known as C, CI and CD. C (Outer-layer yellow cocoon) genes make yellow cocoons on outer-layer and white cocoons on inter-layer, and CI (Inner-layer yellow cocoon) genes do yellow cocoons on inter-layer and dilute yellow cocoons on outer-layer. CD gene is known as making dilute yellow cocoons all layer. In this study, we have checked the dominance relation of C sympathetic genes among carotenoid genes for color cocoons by using strains related to the genes for color cocoons and investigated the aspect that pigments were penetrated in silk gland by action of each gene.

This study systematically investigated a method for extraction of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius Linnaeus) colorants by ultrasonic treatment. Compared to pigments productivity and cell wall structures of safflower after general and ultrasonic method, the ultrasonic method showed high extraction efficiency of safflower pigments due to destruction of safflower cell wall caused by high vibration energies. Microscopic analysis confirmed the hypothesis that the ultrasonic treatment of safflower caused its cell wall structure loosened and made efficient extraction of safflower pigments. And also, LC-MS/MS analysis revealed that productivities of the yellow and red safflower pigments by ultrasonic method were 21.9% and 14.6% higher, respectively, than those of pigments extracted by general method. The ultrasonic extracted yellow and red colorants could be used to dye not only natural fibers like cotton, silk and wool, but also synthetic fiber like nylon, and generally gave a better color tone than the general extracted colorants from safflower due to the affinities of red and yellow colorant on different fibers. As the yellow and red colorant were extracted by ultrasonic treatment in water, the K/S value on of 550/440nm of cotton and rayon was increased but in the case of silk and wool the change of this value was almost not detected. Finally, this technique might provide a solution to establish reproducibility and standardization for the extraction and dyeing methods on fabrics.

치자나무 (Gardenia jasminoides)는 우리나라 남부 지방에 널리 분포하는 이리도이드 (iridoid)계 꼭두서니과의 수목으로서 그 열매인 치자는 예로부터 옷감의 염료, 식용 색소 및 한방 약재로 널리 사용되어 왔다. 치자에 함유된 주요성분으로는 치자 과실에 이리도이드 배당체인 제니핀 (genipin: $C_{11}H_{14}O_5$)과 제니포사이드 (geniposide: $C_{17}H_{24}O_{10}$) 및 겐티오비오시드 (gentiobioside), 크로신 (crocin), 노나코산, 기르네노시드, 만니톨 등이 있고 잎에는 가데오시드 (gardeoside)가 포함되어 있다. 치자색소중 가장 대표적인 치자황색소는 매염처리에 따라 색상이 거의 변하지 않는 단색성 염료이면서 매염처리를 하지 않고도 면직물 등의 식물섬유에 염색이 되는 직접 염료로서 그 시장가치가 높다. 현재 치자황색소는 가격경쟁의 격화에 따라 금액 기준으로 약간 감소하고 있으나 수요 그 자체는 라면 등 식품을 중심으로 광범위한 시장을 형성하고 있다. 다음으로 치자청색소는 치자추출물을 효소반응이나 미생물 배양을 통한 가수분해에 의해 다량의 제니핀으로 전환하여 여러 아미노산과 함께 생산이 이루어지게 된다. 치자청색소는 단백질 섬유에 염색한 결과 매염제 없이도 우수한 착색을 보였으며, 견뢰도도 우수하게 나타났다. 또한 냉과류의 합성착색료 대체품으로 신장하고 있는 스피룰리나 청색소와 가격경쟁력이 있어서 앞으로의 수요는 더 커질 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. 치자적색소는 520-540 nm에서 최대흡광도를 나타내며, 이는 청색소와 마찬가지로 이리도이드 배당체를 효소 및 미생물로 가수분해한 구성물과 일차 아미노 그룹을 포함한 기질과 함께 반응함으로써 형성된다. 치자 색소는 식품 뿐만 아니라 섬유의 염색에도 우수한 천연색소로서 가치가 있다고 사료된다. 따라서 앞으로 식품에 있어서 천연색소로의 대체가 당면한 과제이며 이를 위해 식용색소로서 조건들을 만족시킬 수 있는 기술개발은 계속 이루어져야 할 것이다. 천연색소의 안정성 문제는 식품 뿐만 아니라 화장품, 섬유 염색 등 거의 모든 부분에서 제약이 되므로 추후 천연염료 (특히 치자 염료)의 안정성을 증가시킬 수 있는 품질 개발과 생산 코스트 다운을 위한 연구는 전체 천연색소 시장의 성장에 필수불가결하다.

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.

The pigments composition and structure of the mural painting at Pongjongsa Kuknakjon is discussed. The structure of inner wall is consisited of Paint layer, Ground divided two layers of yellow and white pigments, Support. In case of outer wall, it is consisted of Paint layer, Ground divided three layers of yellow and green pigments, a layer mixed green pigments and paint layer, Support. As a result of compositon analysis of mural painting pigments at Pongjongsa Kuknakjon using Micro-area X-ray diffraction system, the red pigment on inner wall is consisted of Heamatite($Fe_2O_3$), Magnetite($Fe_3O_4$)of deep black pigment, and Chalcocite($Cu_2S$) of light black pigment. The white pigment on outer wall is consisted of Anglesite($PbSO_4$) and Atacamite($Cu_2CI(OH)_3$) of green pigment. We found out that natural pigments painted in the mural painting at Pongjongsa Kuknakjon has kept up its own color for a long time due to using the natural pigment not to artificial synthetic pigment.
