Anthocyanins are a major source of natural red colorants but currently face difficulties matching the hue range, stability, and affordability of synthetic options. Purple corn offers an FDA and EFSA-approved economical source of anthocyanin-based colorants. A C-glycosyl flavone and anthocyanin copigmentation system consisting of a flavone-rich anthocyanin-poor line and two anthocyanin-rich flavone-poor lines containing either pelargonidin or cyanidin-derived anthocyanins is described. This system offers a broad hue range and can improve stability. Cyanidin-rich model beverages had better stability than pelargonidin-rich beverages over time, but the addition of flavone-rich extract to both resulted in significantly longer half-lives (up to 50% longer). Flavone copigments produced hyperchromic and bathochromic shifts in both. A protective effect from flavone copigmentation was observed for glycosides. In contrast acylated forms displayed significantly shorter half-lives. Results suggest that corn C-glycosyl flavone-rich extracts could serve as a color enhancing and stabilizing agent for anthocyanin colorants.

The potential of blue light (BL) and sous-vide (S-V) as a novel approach for food preservation was investigated via measurements of the total phenolic content (TPC), antioxidative activity, color, and their antibacterial effect on in two versions of laboratory-prepared kale pesto, with and without the addition of turmeric. The TPC ranged from 85 to 208 mg/100 g GAE d.m.

In this study, panelists in rural Bangladesh ( = 150) assessed the sensory attributes of two cooked and uncooked dehulled red lentils: the control (unfortified lentils) and lentils fortified with eight vitamins and two minerals (multiple micronutrient fortified; MMF). The panelists evaluated the appearance, odor, and overall acceptability using a nine-point hedonic scale (1 = extremely dislike; 9 = extremely like). The taste and texture of the cooked lentils, prepared as South Asian lentil meals, were assessed.

Cephalopods produce dynamic colors and skin patterns for communication and camouflage via stratified networks of neuronally actuated yellow, red, and brown chromatophore organs, each filled with thousands of pigment granules. While compositional analysis of chromatophore granules in Doryteuthis pealeii reveals the pigments as ommochromes, the ultrastructural features of the granules and their effects on bulk coloration have not been explored. To investigate this, we isolated granules from specific colored chromatophores and imaged them using multiple modalities.

Hypoxia, characterized by inadequate tissue oxygenation, may result in tissue damage and organ failure if not addressed. Current detection approaches frequently prove insufficient, depending on symptoms and rudimentary metrics such as tissue oxygenation, which fail to comprehensively identify the onset of hypoxia. The European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (EPUAP) has recognized sweat lactate as a possible marker for the early identification of decubitus ulcers, nevertheless, neither sweat lactate nor oxygenation independently provides an appropriate diagnosis of hypoxia.
