The volume compiles information on microbial and non-conventional pigment sources as well as environmental sustainability and regulatory aspects surrounding their use. The first half of the book delves into the sources and chemistry of microbial pigments, covering a variety of topics including bacterial pigments, fungal pigments, algal and cyanobacterial colorants, and more. Readers will gain insight into the diverse world of microbial pigments and the science behind their vibrant colors. The second half of the book focuses on the practical aspects of microbial colorants, including extraction and purification techniques, biotechnological approaches to enhance production, environmental sustainability, and regulatory considerations. It also explores the numerous applications of microbial colorants in industries such as food, cosmetics, textiles, and technology. Microbial colorants are gaining increasing attention due to their natural and sustainable properties. As the world seeks eco-friendly alternatives to synthetic dyes and colorants, microbial pigments offer a promising solution. This book aims to bridge the knowledge gap by providing a comprehensive resource for researchers, students, and professionals interested in this emerging field. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReaders will find the book: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplores various microbial pigments and their sources;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eReviews pigment isolation, biosynthesis, and processing techniques;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscusses potential applications of pigments across a range of products in the food and beverage industry, pharmaceutical industry, and textile dyeing industry;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCovers food safety and toxicity aspects of using microbial pigments as food colorants and includes the latest innovations in the use of microbial pigments in the textile industrial sector for dyeing and finishing purposes;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides regulatory considerations and compliance requirements for using microbial colorants in various industries.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudience\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is meant for researchers, academics, and industry experts working in fields related to pigment production, chemistry, isolation, and applications in the food and beverage, medicine, and textile industries.
