Printing inks are mainly composed of pigment and vehicles. Among these components, the Vehicle affect the rheologic property of the ink the most but pigment content or characteristic also affect to the fluidity property not less than the vehicle. In the study, with the same vehicle on each sample, by making the sample to increase pigment content gradually. It can be examined the influence of the pigment to the fluidity of ink. In result we found that the viscosity value of the low shear rate rang has relatively higher value with increasing the pigment content in the ink. According to higher pigment content, yield stress and thixotropy index increases gradually. Structure recovery of the ink is that, the higher pigment content's ink, the less changing shear rate, and it takes less time to recover.

This study investigated the effect of a pigment (C. I. Pigment Red 122) addition on mechanical properties of the epoxy resin, diglycidyl ether of bisphenol F (DGEBF) and G640 curing agent. The K/S value, thermal properties, tensile properties, and fracture toughness of the prepared epoxy samples were evaluated. When the pigment was added to the DGEBF/G640 epoxy system, the color of the epoxy resin changed to red from transparent and yellowish color, and the K/S value in the red region increased as the pigment content increased. When the pigment content was increased up to 0.1 phr, the tensile strength was improved up to 21.8 %, whereas the pigment content was over 0.1 phr, the tensile strength decreased. The fracture toughness was improves up to 23.1 % until the amount of pigment added was up to 0.2 phr, and then decreased when the amount of the pigment added was more than 0.2 phr. This attributed to the aggregation of the pigments in the epoxy resin when the amount of the pigment added was more than 0.2 phr. Therefore, the coloration of the epoxy resin with an organic pigment must be carried out very carefully because the coloration of epoxy resin affects its mechanical properties.

The pigment content in meju fermented by a Monascus species with different materials was studied. The relations between growth of M. pilosus and pigment production were positive and the correlation coefficient associated with this relationship was determined to be : r = 0.9879. Pigments produced by M. purpureus and M. pilosus were composed of 9 and 8 bands, respectively. One kind of them was yellowish, whereas the others were reddish. Total pigment levels in rice meju fermented by M. purpureus and M. pilosus were 335.25 and 1428.90$\mu\textrm{g}$/g, respectively. Pigment levels in the mejus fermented at 3$0^{\circ}C$ showed higher than those at 20 and 4$0^{\circ}C$. The order of pigment content in meju was polished rice > germinated brown rice > wheat > brown rice > waxy brown rice > germinated waxy brown rice. Pigment production by M. pilosus was higher than that of M. purpureus. Pigment content in rice meju prepared by adding 10% seed culture was highest, and pigment content of granulated rice was higher than that of powdered rice. Pigment production was not desirable in soybean meju fermented by seed culture, whereas the pigment levels in meju by adding 10% powdered rice and 10% powdered rice seed meju increased by 23.0 ~75.0 $\mu\textrm{g}$/g.

Improving the light utilization efficiency of photosynthetic cells in photobioreactors (PBRs) is a major topic in algal biotechnology. Accordingly, in the current study we investigated the effect and suitability of photosynthetic pigment reduction for improving light utilization efficiency. The light-harvesting complex II (LH-II) genes of Rhodobacter sphaeroides were removed to construct a mutant strain with less pigment content. The mutant strain exhibited a slower growth rate than the wild-type under a low light intensity, while the mutant grew faster under a high light intensity. In addition, the specific absorption coefficient was lower in the mutant due to its reduced pigment content, thus it seemed that light penetrated deeper into its culture broth. However, the distance (light penetration depth) from the surface of the PBR to the compensation point did not increase, due to an increase in the compensation irradiance of the mutant strain. Experimental data showed that a reduced photosynthetic pigment content, which lessened the photoinhibition under high-intensity light, helped the volumetric productivity of photosynthetic microorganisms.

To elucidate effects of air pollutants on ecophysiological properties of two Quercus mongolica stands at different levels of air pollution, photosynthetic capacity and chloroplast pigment were measured in leaves of Q. mongolica. Photosynthetic capacity, photosynthetic pigment content and SLA (specific leaf area) of Q. mongolica leaves in polluted area were lower than those in nonpolluted area. Also, the chlorosis and mottling in some of leaves were observed in polluted area after August. Except for total carotenoid (P<0.05) the correlations between photosynthetic capacity and pigment content were not significant. Photosynthetic capacity of Q. mongolica leaves in polluted area was decreased after July.

Purple sweet potato pigment extract was concentrated using both membrane separation method and vacuum concentration method. The pigment extract (anthocyanin content 1.6 g/L) was concentrated $({\times}25)$ after 5 hr of continuous operation of a nanofiltration to get anthocyanin content of 10.6 g/L. Total solid content also increased continuously while the flux decreased continuously during the concentration process. Degradation index (DI) changes of concentrated pigment solution were insignificant during the whole concentration process which is indicating that the nanofiltration method does not affect color degradation of anthocyanin pigment. For the comparison test, the same pigment extract was concentrated using a rotary vacuum evaporator at temperatures of 40 and $60^{\circ}C$. At both temperatures, pigment content increased in a similar manner during concentration $({\times}5)$. However, DI value at $60^{\circ}C$ increased while that at $40^{\circ}C$ did not change appreciably. Total color difference value changed only slightly by nanofiltration and $40^{\circ}C$ while changed significantly by $60^{\circ}C$. These indicate that a membrane filtration method is more effective in concentrating purple sweet potato pigment extract than a vacuum concentration method by high temperature.

Growth characteristics and changes of pigment content of purple sweet potato (PSP) during growth were investigated. Vine length of PSP was increased to the maximum length of 130 cm after 100 days of growth. Numbers of branches and nodes were increased to the maximum of 21and 550, respectively, after 120 days of growth. Vine weight was also increased to the maximum of 4,384 kg/10a after 120 days of growth, while the weight of marketable root was increased continuously to the end of the growth period of 150 days to reach the production of 1,875 kg/10a. Uniquely considerable amount of anthocyanin pigment has been developed in both skin and flesh of young roots harvested after 40 days of growth. The pigment content was increased slowly until 140 days of growth then decreased. This fact indicates that the best time for harvesting of PSP is 140 days after planting.
