NiO-doped hibonite pigments were synthesized by the solid state method to get stabilized blue color pigment in both oxidation and reduction atmospheres. Optimum substitution condition with NiO for hibonite blue pigment was investigated. Experimental results were comparable to those of previous cobalt-minimization studies performed with other phosphate- or oxide-based cobalt-containing ceramic pigments (having olivine ($Co_2SiO_4$), spinel ($CoAl_2O_4$), or with co-doped willemite ($(Co,Zn)_2SiO_4$) structures). Composition was designed varying the NiO molar ratio increasing with $SnO_2$. The optimum substitution content is 0.93 mole NiO with 0.75mole $SnO_2$. The characteristics of the synthesized pigment were analyzed by XRD, Raman spectroscopy, SEM, and UV-vis. Synthesized pigment was applied to a lime-barium glaze with 10 wt% each and fired at an oxidation atmosphere of $1250^{\circ}C/1h$ and a reducing atmosphere $1240^{\circ}C/1h$. Blue color was obtained with $L^*a^*b^*$ values at 43.39, -6.78, -18.20 under a reducing atmosphere and 41.66, -6.36, -14.7 under and oxidation atmosphere, respectively.

Jindo Hongju is a traditional liquor in Korea. The characteristic of Hongju are its unique flavour and red color which is extracted from the root of gromwell (Lithospermum erythrorhizon). It is due to these color and flavour that Hongju attracts visual charm. However, the commercial value of Hongju is reduced because of the discoloration of red pigment during storage. Therefore, factors which cause the discoloration of red pigment and methods to prevent discoloration were investigated. The results obtained from this study are summarized as follows. The factors that cause the discoloration were visible light, temperature (beyond $40^{\circ}C$), pH (above 10) and inorganic ion ($Cu^{2-}$). Among all the additives added, Cystein (100 ppm) was the most effective inhibitor of pigment discoloration.

Infrared(IR) reflective black cool pigment and paint which is used for interior/exterior materials(IR reflectance >30%) to prevent heat island effect and to increase energy efficiency were studied. Cool pigment was synthesized using mixture of $Fe_2O_3$ and $Cr_2O_3$ with calcination from 900 to $1,200^{\circ}C$. Cool paint was prepared by formulation of cool pigment, acrylic resins, and other additives. Results showed that optimum color fixation of pigment obtained by mole ratio of Fe to Cr was 0.9 with calcination temperature at $1,000^{\circ}C$. The cool paint formulated by 20% pigment and 1.5% dispersive additive with $125{\mu}m$ thickness of coated layer showed optimum IR reflectance. Temperature difference on surface between cool paint and ordinary paint(STD) was $36.5^{\circ}C$ and IR reflectance(TSR) was 39.3% at wavelength from 700 to 2,500nm. And color change was not detected during 500hrs weathering test.

This study investigate the effects of starter cultures on the color stability of Chinese-style sausage. The samples were inoculated with $10^7cfu\;g^{-1}$ meat of either Staphylococcus carnosus or Staphylococcus xylosus. After mixing, curing at either $4^{\circ}C$ or $20^{\circ}C$ for 20 h and then drying at $50^{\circ}C$ for 5 h, the samples were then either vacuum packed or hung at $4^{\circ}C$ and $25^{\circ}C$ (85% R. H.). The pH, nitrite content, nitrosyl pigment content, metmyoglobin and L-, a-, b- values were measured. The pH value still remained above 6.0 during storage. Nitrite residue of all samples decreased after storage at $25^{\circ}C$ for 7 days. The samples inoculated with S. carnosus and S. xylosus had higher nitrite content (20.9-34.7 ppm) than the control (p<0.05). Samples inoculated with S. carnosus and S. xylosus had higher nitrosyl pigment content and lower metmyoglobin content than those of the control. The L- and b- values of all samples decreased but the a- values increased with storage time. The result suggested that S. carnosus and S. xylosus starter cultures be used to improve color stability of Chinese-style sausage.

In this study, the diarylide compound pigment of high hiding power and vivid color was synthesized successfully by controlling several factors such as pH, coupler solution temperature, kind and addition amount of dispersion precursor, and crystallization temperature in the process of coupling synthesis. The properties of samples were measured by the means of FT-IR, UV-Vis spectroscopy, PSA, zeta potential, and turbiscan. It was found that the highly dispersive sample could be prepared by introducing the dispersive precursor.

Kinetic parameters on heat-induced color changes of anthocyanin pigment from purple sweet potato were determined in the temperature range of $121{\sim}141^{\circ}C$. Color change determined by a browning index $(A_{532}\;nm/A_{420}\;nm)$ followed second order reaction kinetics. Activation energy values of purple sweet potato pigment solutions of pH 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0 were 69.57, 76.68, 81.07 and 92.98 kJ/mol, respectively, indicating that temperature dependency of the reaction increased with pH. Apparent kinetic compensation effect between preex-ponential factor and activation energy value was observed.

Using rice husk ash as silica, the influence of the firing temperature and holding time on the color intensity of Pr-$ZrSiO_4$ pigments were investigated. The Pr-yellow pigments were calcined at 500, 700, 800, 900, 950, 1000, $1100^{\circ}C$ in a ceramic method. The synthesized pigments were characterized by DT-TG thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction, UV-Vis spectroscopy, and SEMEDAX analysis. The relationship between the zircon phase-formation growth and Pr-yellow color development was evaluated and the optimum firing conditions were determined. The color of the pigment samples was characterized on the grounds of the Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage (CIE) standard procedure (CIE $L^*a^*b^*$ measurement) after an application on the bisque ceramic tile.

Conversion of Gardenia jasminoides yellow pigment into blue-green pigment by 8 bacterial species was examed. Bioconversion pattern can be categorized into three types according to absorption spectra characteristics. The same pattern of the value of ${\Delta}E$ estimated by color differencemeter was also observed. Conversion rate by S. epidermidis was faster than other bacterial species. It took 16 hour for S. epidermidis to convert pigment at $37^{\circ}C$. Gardenia jasminoides yellow pigment and conversion pigment were completely separated by Amberlite XAD column chromatography with $H_2O-MeOH$ solvent system. Storage stability of the conversion pigment was better than Gardenia jasminoides yellow pigment.

The bacteria of red colonies isolated from soil were identified as Serratia marcescens. The best solvent for pigment extraction was n-buthanol and the pigment was identified as prodigiosene. The extracted pigment was stable on temperature and light but not on acidity. The redpigment color changed into red in alkaline solution. The maximum absorbancy of pigment was 466 nm in alkaline condition and 540 nm in acid condition. And the pigment formed single spot on the TLC(starch). By the result of infra red spectrum, the red pigment has the same absorption pattern comparing with, the prodigisin produced by S. marcescens strain Nima. It was confirmed that the pigment was secondary metabolite and that the maximal peak of production appeared at 30 hrs after the inoculation, when the bacterial growth was in statinary state. Referring to the effect of temperature, the pigment was not formed at $36^{\circ}C$ and the optimal temperature for both of bactrial growth and pigmentation was $30^{\circ}C$. The optimal range of pH for pigmentation was 5.0 and under the condition the bacterial growth was not affected at all. Examining the effects of light, the bacterial pigment ation was more increased in darkness than in visible light.

Marine bacterium producing pigment was isolated from the solar saltern of Mijo-myeon, Namhae, Korea. Based on phenotypic characteristics and 16S rRNA sequence analysis, the strain was identified as Kocuria sp., which produced a yellow pigment. The pigment showed UV absorption maximum at 469nm. The bacterial strain grew well on Marine broth 2216 culture medium. Productivity of the pigment reached the maximum value after 44 hours at $30^{\circ}C$, 2% NaCl and pH 6.0. The pigment was produced best when supplied by 1% lactose as a carbon source and 1% beef extract as a nitrogen source. The result of the color stability study showed that pigment extracted from the strain by ethanol was stable at $-20-25^{\circ}C$ and also showed higher stability over 70% for 14 days in light conditions at $25^{\circ}C$. The pigment extract was also stable for all metal ions tested, except for $FeCl_2$.
