INTRODUCTION
Color Importance !
Adding colour - Do
we need it?
Which one would
you buy?
And which do you
think would taste
better?
Some people react
badly to
tartrazine.
Some
manufacturers
have started to
replace it with
turmeric oleoresin.

Anthocyanins
Anthoxanthins
Carotenes
Xanthophylls
Quinones
Benzoquinones
Naphthoquinones
Anthraquinones
Polycyclic quinones
16
Flavonoids
Found extensively in plants but of only limited occurrence
in animals
Consist of a 15-carbon flavone (2-phenylbenzopyrone)
skeleton
Hydrogen atoms (H) replaced either by hydroxyl (-OH) or
methoxyl (-OCH3) groups
Occur in living tissue mainly in combination with sugar
molecules, forming glycosides
Take one of two forms
Anthocyanins
Anthoxanthins
17
Anthocyanins
Responsible for the red buds and young shoots,
purple and purple-red colors of autumn leaves
Also occur in blossoms, fruits, and roots (beets)
Typically red in acid, violet in neutral, and blue in
alkaline solution
More than one anthocyanin may be present
The colors of many flowers are caused by the
presence of both anthocyanins and plastid
pigments
Small genetic changes in varieties or species
may lead to the development of different
anthocyanins
18
Anthocyanins
19
Carotenoids
All animals depend upon vitamin A or one of
its precursors, such as carotene, for normal
metabolism and growth
By far the most important, conspicuous, and
widely distributed in both plants and animals
Synthesized by bacteria, fungi, algae, and
other plants
Non-nitrogenous yellow, orange, or red
pigments
20
Carotenoids
Generally insoluble in water
Dissolve readily in fat solvents such as alcohol,
ether, and chloroform
Readily bleached by light and exposure to
atmospheric oxygen
Unstable in acids such as sulfuric acid.
Occur as two major types
Carotenoids
22
Carotenoids
Fat souble synthetically produced natural pigments. Colors range
from yellow to red. Sensitive to oxygen (note the conjugated
double bonds). Isomerized during heat processing.

Crystalline B-carotene is sensitive to air and light.
Vegetable fat and oil solutions and suspensions
are quite stable during customary handling.

Anthoxanthins
Greater variety than anthocyanins
New forms continuously being discovered
Some common examples
31
Betalins
Dried beet juice 0.2-1.0% betanin
Betanin useful at ~ 50 ppm
Betanin has 2.5 times coloring strength cf red
#2
Most stable between ph 4.0-5.0
Heat, oxygen and light labile
Most often in sauces (frozen pizza sauces),
dried products, some yogurts

Quinones
Class of cyclic organic compounds
Contain two carbonyl groups, either adjacent or
separated by a vinylene group, in a sixmembered unsaturated ring
Carbonyl groups may be located in different rings
Four main forms in nature
Benzoquinones
Naphthoquinones
Anthraquinones
Polycyclic quinones.
34
Benzoquinones
Occur in certain fungi and in roots, berries, or
abnormal growths of higher plants
May be recovered as yellow, orange, red, violet,
or darker colored crystals or solids
Small quantities of pale-yellow crystals of
coenzyme Q, often called ubiquinones, are
almost universally distributed in plants and
animals
Play an important role as respiratory enzymes in
catalyzing cellular oxidations
35
Naphthoquinones
In some bacteria and in the leaves, seeds, and
woody parts of higher plants
Recovered as yellow, orange, red, or purple
crystals
Soluble in organic solvents
Used extensively as dyes for fabrics.
Some examples
K vitamins
Echinochromes and spinochromes (found in animal
sources)
36
Anthraquinone
Occur widely in plants but in only a few animals
Parent substance of a large class of dyes and
pigments
Prepared commercially by oxidation of
anthracene or condensation of benzene and
phthalic anhydride, followed by dehydration of
the condensation product.
Although extremely stable toward oxidation,
anthraquinone can be easily reduced to a variety
of products
37
Polycyclic Quinones
Not widely
found in foods
Representative
strucutres
(not from plants)
38
Nitrogenous Pigments
Porphyrins
Chlorophyll
Bilins (a.k.a. Bilichromes)
Flavals
a.k.a. Lyochromes
39
Porphyrins
Water-soluble, nitrogenous 16-membered cyclic
Elementary structural unit is a large ring
composed of four pyrrole rings, or cyclic
tetrapyrroles, known as porphin.
Combine with metals (metalloporphyrins) and
proteins
Chlorophylls
Hemoglobins (animal product)
40
Chlorophyll
Exist
in several forms
Magnesium
Chlorophyll
Contain
Chlorophyll
Pyrrole ring with chelated Mg++
Phytol ester
Most of the chemistry relates to removal of Mg and
replacement with H+, Cu++ or Zn++
Veri-Green process adds ZnCl2 to replace H in pheophytin to
form very bright and stable green color, copper will also
form a very nice color (but adding copper is not allowed in
the US)
Phytol ester may also be cleaved.
Chlorophyll minus phytol = chlorophyllide (green)
Replace Mg with H = Pheophytin (olive)
-phytol and Mg=pheophorbide(Qlive)
