This study was carried out to investigate the anthocyanin pigments in the fruits of mulberry and grape. The anthocyanin pigments in the fruits of mulberry and grape were extracted with l% methanolic hydrochloric acid. The cyanidin-3-glu-coside (C3G) was separated and quantified by HPLC system using a Nova-Pack C$\sub$18/ column. The cyanidin-3-glucoside (C3G) contents of mulberry fruits were higher than that of grapes. Especially, anthocyanin pigments of mulberry fruits showed only C3G peak, but anthocyanin pigments of grapes showed some species peaks.

Study on extraction and color characteristics of mulberry fruit pigment(C3G; cyanidin-3-glucoside) was performed to increase utilization as new source of natural food colorant. C3G was extracted with 0.1 % citric acid-70% EtOH. Then it was evaporated with large scale evaporation system. After adding dextrin to C3G concentration materials, we made pigment powder with freezing dryer.

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of antioxidant enzyme activity and radical scavenging activities of thirteen kinds of natural plant pigments. The analytic method of antioxidant activities were measured by estimating DPPH free radical scavenging and nitrite scavenging ability activity. The free radical scavenging activity by method using stable free radical DPPH was the highest in the red cabbaged pigment. Addition of ethanol extract 1mg/ml from onion peel pigment displayed remarkable effect on nitrite scavenging ability about 91.9%. Antioxidative enzyme activity was evaluated in terms of superoxide dismutase(SOD), catalase(CAT), and ascorbate peroxidase(APX) activity. The bitter melon pigment had the highest SOD activity of 87.3%. The activities of CAT and APX were higher in the mulberry leave pigment compared with other natural plant pigments. In contrast, CAT activity of plant pigment samples were unaffected. These results suggest that natural plant pigment had the potent biological activities such as antioxidant enzyme activities, and that their activities exhibited differently depending on each kind of pigments.

Each pigments were obtained by ethyl alcohol extraction method, blue and yellow pigment from Gardenia as well as dark brown pigment from Kaoliang. Concentration of these pigments are all 60 Brix, the extraction yields were 0.68, 1.97, 0.63 ％(w/w), respectively. Oil soluble natural black pigment (OSNBP) was composed of soybean oil, water, emulsifier, Gardenia blue and yellow, Kaoliang dark brown etc. Blending ratio of these was 8: 22: 42: 10: 15: 13 (w/w), this mixture was carried out homogenized. Solubility of this OSNBP in soybean oil was appeared the maximum level at about 30∼40$^{\circ}C$ range. OSNBP solubilized black oil was not reseparated at below 20$^{\circ}C$.

Natural pigments are materials that express color and have been used in foods, cosmetics, medicine and so on. Since natural pigments are extracted from animals and plants, they are not uniform in size. Red pigments in particular are more lipophilic than other color pigments and tend to aggregate easily in aqueous solutions which make it difficult to reproduce the specific color due to size change. Found to be an allergen and the growing aversion for it to be used in foods, cochineal pigment, an animal pigment used for red pigments is being used less. In this study, red vegetable pigment lycopene extract and gardenia yellow was made uniform in size by ball-milling, then asymmetrical flow-field flow fractionation (AsFlFFF) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) were used to measure the size, and a color meter was used to confirm the color. Experimental results showed that the pigment particles were large in size and size distribution was wide before milling, but the size of the particles decreased and size distribution narrowed after milling. Color meter measurements showed that as the milling time increased, the size of the pigment particles decreased and the brightness, redness, and yellowness increased indicating a bright red color.

The time-dependent changes of red pigments production in solid-state plant scale fermentor using barley cultured with Monascus sp., instead of rice which was traditionally used, were investigated in this study. A steady increase in the yield of red pigments in barley occurred between the 3rd and 6th days. The optimized conditions (inoculation volume = 6∼8%, initial pH = 6, air supply = 0.6∼0.8 m) promoted the production of red pigments. Short-time steaming of barley (< 20 min) decreased fungal growth and pigments production due to the insufficient gelatiniza-tion. The optical density of the red pigments under the optimized conditions was 120 at 500 ]nm per gram of barley. In addition, the metabolites from the fermented barley with Monucus sp. showed antibacterial effects against Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium. Barley was shown to be one of the best grain sources for solid-state fermentation with Monascu sp., fur obtaining natural pigments and also functional food materials.

Effect of reducing agent sodium hydrosulfite on the natural indigo on the silk fabrics were examined to improve traditional dyeing method. K/S values of dyed fabrics was monitored with various dyeing temperature time, amount of dye and reducing agent. The dyeability of silk fabrics was improved by using reducing agent, sodium hydrosulfite; K/S value (7.20) was higher then that (1.09) of traditional method at the frist dyeing. Natural indigo dye extracted from dyed silk fabrics are composed of isomer, indigo (67.3%) and indirubin (32.5%). However, silk fabrics showed excellent anti-microbial activity regardless of the dyeing methods.
