Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

Natural pigment is the direction of pigment development in food industry.Natural food pigment is mainly extracted from the plant.Many of them have physiological activities.Natural food pigment is even more safe than synthetic dyestuff so that it becomes the important additive development emphasis in the world.The paper discussed some kinds of functional natural pigments such as lycopene,curcumin,β-carotin and astaxanthin,and described their research status,safety and development.
