Colour consistency is an important consideration when selecting pigments used on works of art. In this study, we analyse the colour difference between two sets of synthetic blue glass pigments acquired at least 8 years apart from the same manufacturer in Japan. The old pigment set (unused, dry powder with four different grain sizes) appears faded compared to the new set. These pigments are made available for artistic use, commonly in Nihonga or Japanese paintings. Raman spectroscopy and SEM-EDS results characterize these pigments as cobalt aluminate spinels dissolved in leaded glaze, a special class of complex coloured inorganic pigments that is not well-understood in the field of conservation. Colour difference between the old and new pigments with four different grain sizes were quantified by analysing photomicrographs with image analysis software. Blue pigments with coarse and extremely fine grains showed significant colour change compared to pigments with medium and fine grain sizes. The high occurrence of crystallites in the finer grains give a final colour that is bluer and lighter. Possible causes for the colour difference including manufacturing methods and storage environment are discussed.

Background: Dental caries and periodontal disease are bacterial infectious disease, mainly caused by plaque, a bacterial colony deposited on the tooth surface and gum tissue. Dental plaque disclosants easily stain the dental plaque, making them effective for scaling and tooth brushing education. As the erythrosine typically contained in dental plaque disclosants is highly cytotoxic, a low toxicity additive is needed. In this study, we aimed to examine the natural pigments with negligible cytotoxicity but can effectively stain the dental plaques for use in dental plaque disclosants. Methods: The pigmentation of eight types of natural pigments was tested on bovine tongue and teeth, as well as on head and neck tissue sections of experimental ICR mice. The cytotoxicity of gingival epithelial cells was measured via MTT assay. Pigmentation was performed on the bovine tongue and tooth surface. Pigmentation in the oral environment was observed in four mandibular incisors. A 2 Tone was used as a control. Results: Of the eight types of natural pigments, purple and blue pigments were effective in coloring dental plaques on the enamel surface as well as in the head and neck tissue sections. Additionally, purple and blue pigments were visible on the surface of the bovine tongue. Red, pink, orange, green, purple, and yellow pigments showed strong cytotoxicity, whereas brown and blue pigments had relatively low cytotoxicity. Blue pigment was effective in staining the dental plaque of four mandibular incisors. Conclusion: We suggest that the blue pigment derived from Gardenia jasminoides Ellis (Rubiaceae), which is effective for coloring dental plaques and has low cytotoxicity, is useful as a naturally derived dental disclosant.

The effects of the concentrations of Gardenia blue pigments and sugar types(honey and oligosugar) on the sensory quality characteristics of starch Dasik were investigated to develop a new blue colored starch Dasik. The blueness(-b value) was increased with the increase of blue pigment, while lightness(L value) was decreased. TPA values showed that hardness, fracturability, gumminess and chewiness were increased with the increase of blue pigment significantly(p<0.05), especially in honey-Dasik. In sensory evaluation, honey-Dasik with 0.04%-blue pigment showed higher scores than any other samples, especially in color, sweetness and overall acceptability, but was not significantly different.

Genipin, aglycone of geniposide isolated from fruits of Gardenia jasminoides, was transformed into blue pigments through reaction with glycine and methylamine. The blue pigments formed from glycine-reacted genipin were passed through Bio-Gel P-2 resin yielding fractions GG1 and GG2, and those from methylamine-reacted genipin were separated into fractions GM1-GM4. The first eluted higher molecular-weight fractions, GG1 and GM1, had higher tinctorial strength than the later eluted lower molecular-weight fractions, GG2 and GM2-GM4, respectively. $^1H-NMR$ spectra of GG1 and GM1 showed very broad peaks indicating that structures of the pigments were highly polymeric. $^1H-NMR$ spectra of GG2, GM3, and GM4 showed several sharp peaks at aliphatic and aromatic regions with accompanying broad peaks, although the spectrum of GM2 was rather simple. Determination of the structural and physical nature of the isolated pigments is in progress.

In this study, we describe a one-step chemoenzymatic reaction for the production of natural blue pigments, in which the geniposide from Gardenia extracts is transformed by glycosidases to genipin. Genipin is then allowed to react with amino acids, thereby generating a natural blue pigment. The ${\beta}-glycosidases$, most notably Isolase (a variant of ${\beta}-glucanase$), recombinant ${\beta}-glycosidases$, Cellulase T, and amylases, were shown to hydrolyze geniposide to produce the desired pigments, whereas the ${\alpha}-glycosidases$ did not. Among the 20 tested amino acids, glycine and tyrosine were associated with the highest dye production yields. The optimal molar ratio of geniposide to glycine, two reactants relevant to pigment production, was unity The natural blue pigments produced in this study were used to dye cotton, silk, and wool. The color yields of the pigments were determined to be significantly higher than those of other natural dyes. Furthermore, the color fastness properties of these dyes were fairly good, even in the absence of mordant.

Geniposide, an iridoid glucoside, has been isolated from the butanol fraction of Gardenia jasminoides Ellis (Rubiaceae). The component was found to be transformed into the blue pigments by some aerobic bacteria, suggesting that geniposide is the precursor for the formation of pigments after converting into genipin, an aglycon of geniposide, by ${\beta}-glucosidase$. Some bacteria having a ${\beta}-glucosidase$ activity did not form the pigments, which may mean that the formation of pigments can only be occurred by the reaction of any enzyme or compound in the pigment-producing bacteria.

우리 나라에서 오랫동안 식용 및 황색 색소원으로 이용되어 온 치자(Gardenia jasminoides)열매로부터 iridoid glycoside인 geniposide를 분리, 정제한 후 ${\beta}-glucosidase$로 가수분해하여 얻은 genipin을 glycine, alanine, histidine, lysine, phenylalanine, glutamate 등 여섯 종류의 아미노산과 반응시켜 수용성 치자청색소로 전환되는 과정을 규명하였다. Genipin이 아미노산과 반응하여 청색소가 되는 과정에서 pH의 영향을 알아보기 위하여 여러 pH에서 반응을 시켜본 결과 청색소 생성의 최적조건은 pH 7.0 이었고, pH 3.0 조건에서는 청색소가 전혀 생성되지 않았으며, pH 12.0 조건에서는 미량의 청색소만 생성되었다. 아미노산의 종류에 따라서도 청색소 생성량 및 색감에 차이가 있었는데 $Iysine({\lambda}_{max}=573\;nm),\;glycine({\lambda}_{max}=595 \;nm),\;phenylalanine({\lambda}_{max}=602\;nm),\;alanine({\lambda}_{max}=595\;nm)$에 비해 $histidine({\lambda}_{max}=601\;nm)$과 $glutamate({\lambda}_{max}=601\;nm)$의 경우에는 비교적 적은 양의 청색소가 생성되었다. 청색소 생성 속도상수를 여러 온도$(60,\;70,\;80,\;90^{\circ}C,\;pH\;7.0\;phosphate$ 완충용액)에서 구하였는데, 염기성 아미노산이 중성 및 산성 아미노산에 비해 생성속도가 빨랐다. 이들 값으로부터 Arrhenius 활성화에너지를 계산한 결과 $glycine(E_A=9.8\;kcal/mol)$이 다른 아미노산$(E_A=13.3{\sim}15.4\;kcal/mol)$에 비해 특히 작은 값의 활성화에너지를 나타내었다.

From the ancient to these days, there have been used many kinds of pigment which have two types that are inorganic pigment and organic pigment. At the ancient times, natural pigment had been used but the artificially mixed pigment has been used in modern times. By the way, searching for studies has been studied recently, it would be said the ancient pigments such as Danchung, Wall painting and Mural painting are the mainthema. However, studies about the pigments used in modern pictured relics have rarely can be found. Therefore, this analysis of Ilweolokdo would be important at the point of the pigments used in pictures of royal family in modern times and the results can be briefly summarized as below; Firstly, the results of qualitative analysis of the pigments that base or all pigments of picture was detected components of Ca, Fe and As, this results meaning that picture was used filler and basic paint. Secondly, a result of the analysis on the composition elements of the pigments shows that the main components in their composition are ;White - Lead Cyanamide($2PbCO_3$.$Pb(OH)_2$) or Titanium Oxide($TiO_2$)Blue - Ultramarine($2(Na_2O$.$Al_2O_3$ .$2Si_O2$).$Na_2S_2$)Green - Emerald green($C_2H_3A_s3Cu_2O_8$)Gold - Gold(Au), Red-Red Lead($Pb_3O_4$) or Cinnabar(HgS)Black - Carbon(C)Thirdly, X-ray diffraction analysis of crystalline structure for the blue and green pigment peeling off in picture shows that the components of blue pigment is Ultramarine($2(Na_2O$.$Al_2O_3$ .$2Si_O2$).$Na_2S_2$) and green pigment is Emerald green($C_2H_3A_s3Cu_2O_8$). Especially, microcrystalline structure of the green pigment was the shape like a cross section of wood. Consequently, we knew through the analysis of qualitative and microcrystallinestructures seen on the cross section of analyzed pigments layer that the all pigments used in the Ilweoloakdo is possible to use synthetic pigments in modern.
