Formation of yellow, orange, and red pigments in the reaction of alk-2-enals with 2-thiobarbituric acid

The reaction of four to eight carbon straight-chain alk-2-enals with 2-thiobarbituric acid (TBA) produced yellow 455-nm-, orange 495-nm-, and red 532-nm-absorbing pigments depending upon the reaction conditions. The 1:1 reaction of the aldehydes with TBA in 15% acetic acid at 100 degrees C produced the yellow pigment at 0.25 h and the red at 6 h. The reaction of the aldehydes with TBA in excess at 100 degrees C produced the yellow at 0.25 h, the orange at 2-6 h, and the red at 0.25-6 h. The formation of these pigments required molecular oxygen. These pigments could be separated from each other on HPLC. The red pigment formed from the aldehydes could not be distinguished from the red 1:2 malonaldehyde-TBA adduct by absorption spectrum and HPLC. The red color yield was the highest in the 1:1 reaction and retarded in the reaction with TBA in excess. The red color due to these aldehydes may contribute in part to the color formed in the general TBA test of lipid oxidation. The 1:1 reaction initially produced colorless 1:1 adducts X, which were subsequently converted into the yellow and red pigments under aerobic conditions. The reaction of the aldehydes with TBA in excess might initially produce X and then another colorless 1:2 adducts Y; the latter being converted into yellow, orange, and red pigments under aerobic conditions.     

Growth kinetics of biopigment production by Thai isolated <Emphasis Type="Italic">Monascus purpureus</Emphasis> in a stirred tank bioreactor

Monascus purpureus is a biopigment-producing fungi whose pigments can be used in many biotechnological and food industries. The growth kinetics of biopigment production were investigated in a liquid fermentation medium in a 5-l stirred tank bioreactor at 30°C, pH 7, for 8 days with 100 rpm agitation and 1.38 × 10⁵ N/m² aeration. Thai Monascus purpureus strains TISTR 3002, 3180, 3090 and 3385 were studied for color production, growth kinetics and productivity. Citrinin as a toxic metabolite was measured from the Monascus fermentation broth. The biopigment productions were detected from fermentation broth by scanning spectra of each strain produced. Results showed a mixture of yellow, orange and red pigments with absorption peaks of pigments occurring at different wavelengths for the four strains. It was found that for each pigment color, the color production from the strains increased in the order TISTR 3002, 3180, 3090, 3385 with 3385 production being approximately 10 times that of 3002. Similar results were found for growth kinetics and productivity. HPLC results showed that citrinin was not produced under the culture conditions of this study. The L*, a* and b* values of the CIELAB color system were also obtained for the yellow, orange and red pigments produced from the TISTR 3002, 3180, 3090 and 3385 strains. The colors of the pigments ranged from burnt umber to deep red.     

Pigmentation and Antibacterial Activity of Fast Neutron- and X-Ray-induced Strains of Monascus purpureus Went

Seven new strains of Monascus purpureus Went were induced by neutron and x-ray irradiation. The quantity and quality of pigments produced by these strains differed. Strains N4S and N11S produced twice as much pigment as normal, while another strain, N14S, was albino. An unknown orange pigment was found in young colonies of the N11S strain. This orange pigment reacted with alcohols and malt extract medium to form red pigments. Strains N4S, N11S, X2P, and wild type inhibited the growth of certain bacteria, especially the Bacillus species. Strain N11S had more antibacterial activity than wild type. A major active compound was isolated with an ultraviolet absorption spectrum that was related to those of the red pigments found in this fungus. The active compound(s) was named monascidin.     

Characterization of an hyperpigmenting mutant of Monascus purpureus IB1: identification of two novel pigment chemical structures

Monascus purpureus IB1 produces about 50-fold higher levels of azaphilone pigments than M. purpureus NRRL1596. Differently pigmented mutants were obtained from M. purpureus IB1 by nitrosoguanidine treatment. A highly pigmented strain, M. purpureus HP14, was found to lack the formation of the classical yellow and orange azaphilones and was found to produce only about 10% of the red azaphilone pigments. The intense color was associated with novel pigments as shown by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The addition of hexanoic acid to M. purpureus IB1 resulted in higher volumetric and specific red pigment productivity, but in a complete absence of the classical orange azaphilones, while the classical yellow and red azaphilone pigments were severely reduced; new peaks corresponding to less hydrophobic pigments were found in hexanoic-supplemented cultures by HPLC. Purification of pigments from hexanoic-supplemented cultures showed the presence of five new pigments as indicated by the absorption spectra and HPLC analysis. Two of them, R3 and Y3, were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance as 9-hexanoyl-3-(2-hydroxypropyl)-6a-methyl-9,9a-dihydro-6H-furo[2,3-h]isochromene-6,8(6aH)-dione and 4-[2,4-dihydroxy-6-(3-hydroxybutanethioyloxy)-3-methylphenyl]-3,4-dihydroxy-3,6-dimethylheptanoic acid. These pigments were also found to be present in cultures of the high-producing mutant M. purpureus HP14. These new pigments are less hydrophobic than the classical azaphilones and may have better properties as natural colorants in the food industry.

A reduction in temperature induces bioactive red pigment production in a psychrotolerant Penicillium sp. GEU_37 isolated from Himalayan soil

Filamentous fungi are being globally explored for the production of industrially important bioactive compounds including pigments. In the present study, a cold and pH tolerant fungus strain Penicillium sp (GEU_37), isolated from the soil of Indian Himalaya, is characterized for the production of natural pigments as influenced by varying temperature conditions. The fungal strain produces a higher sporulation, exudation, and red diffusible pigment in Potato Dextrose (PD) at 15 °C as compared to 25 °C. In PD broth, a yellow pigment was observed at 25 °C. While measuring the effect of temperature and pH on red pigment production by GEU_37, 15 °C and pH 5, respectively, were observed to be the optimum conditions. Similarly, the effect of exogenous carbon and nitrogen sources and mineral salts on pigment production by GEU_37 was assessed in PD broth. However, no significant enhancement in pigmentation was observed. Chloroform extracted pigment was separated using thin layer chromatography (TLC) and column chromatography. The two separated fractions i.e., fractions I and II with Rf values 0.82 and 0.73, exhibited maximum light absorption, λ_max, at 360 nm and 510 nm, respectively. Characterization of pigments using GC–MS showed the presence of the compounds such as phenol, 2,4-bis (1,1-dimethylethyl) and eicosene from fraction I and derivatives of coumarine, friedooleanan, and stigmasterole in fraction II. However, LC-MS analysis detected the presence of derivatives of compound carotenoids from fraction II as well as derivative of chromenone and hydroxyquinoline as major compounds from both the fractions along with other numerous important bioactive compounds. The production of such bioactive pigments under low temperature conditions suggest their strategic role in ecological resilience by the fungal strain and may have biotechnological applications.     

A light-sensitive yellow pigment from the housefly

Extraction of house-fly heads with neutral phosphate buffer yielded a dark brown solution from which a number of pigments were separated, either wholly or partially, by chromatography on a column of calcium phosphate mixed with celite. One of the pigments was light-sensitive, and had a yellow color, with a spectral absorption maximum at 437 mmicro in phosphate buffer at pH 6.5. Several consecutively eluted fractions from each chromatogram of the house-fly head extract showed the characteristic absorption curve of this pigment with no trace, spectroscopically, of the other pigments of the extract. The products of bleaching the pigment at pH 6.5 had an absorption curve showing plateaus at 440 to 460 mmicro and 350 to 360 mmicro and an inflection at about 250 mmicro. Above pH 8.0 the pigment bleached in the dark giving an absorption maximum at about 380 mmicro, and inflections at 290 mmicro and at about 250 mmicro. With 2.5 to 5 N HCl or H(2)SO(4) an absorption maximum at 470 to 475 mmicro was obtained with either the unbleached or the bleached pigment. With sulfosalicylic acid, ethanol, or heating at 100 degrees C., a part of the pigment was precipitated, leaving a light-stable yellow supernatant. This light-sensitive house-fly pigment cannot as yet be identified with any of the previously known insect pigments or with the photosensitive pigments of other animals, though these latter compounds exhibit some similarity in their spectroscopic properties.     

The blue anthocyanin pigments from the blue flowers of Heliophila coronopifolia L. (Brassicaceae)

Six acylated delphinidin glycosides (pigments 1-6) and one acylated kaempferol glycoside (pigment 9) were isolated from the blue flowers of cape stock (Heliophila coronopifolia) in Brassicaceae along with two known acylated cyanidin glycosides (pigments 7 and 8). Pigments 1-8, based on 3-sambubioside-5-glucosides of delphinidin and cyanidin, were acylated with hydroxycinnamic acids at 3-glycosyl residues of anthocyanidins. Using spectroscopic and chemical methods, the structures of pigments 1, 2, 5, and 6 were determined to be: delphinidin 3-O-[2-O-(β-xylopyranosyl)-6-O-(acyl)-β-glucopyranoside]-5-O-[6-O-(malonyl)-β-glucopyranoside], in which acyl moieties were, respectively, cis-p-coumaric acid for pigment 1, trans-caffeic acid for pigment 2, trans-p-coumaric acid for pigment 5 (a main pigment) and trans-ferulic acid for pigment 6, respectively. Moreover, the structure of pigments 3 and 4 were elucidated, respectively, as a demalonyl pigment 5 and a demalonyl pigment 6. Two known anthocyanins (pigments 7 and 8) were identified to be cyanidin 3-(6-p-coumaroyl-sambubioside)-5-(6-malonyl-glucoside) for pigment 7 and cyanidin 3-(6-feruloyl-sambubioside)-5-(6-malonyl-glucoside) for pigment 8 as minor anthocyanin pigments. A flavonol pigment (pigment 9) was isolated from its flowers and determined to be kaempferol 3-O-[6-O-(trans-feruloyl)-β-glucopyranoside]-7-O-cellobioside-4′-O-glucopyranoside as the main flavonol pigment.On the visible absorption spectral curve of the fresh blue petals of this plant and its petal pressed juice in the pH 5.0 buffer solution, three characteristic absorption maxima were observed at 546, 583 and 635 nm. However, the absorption curve of pigment 5 (a main anthocyanin in its flower) exhibited only one maximum at 569 nm in the pH 5.0 buffer solution, and violet color. The color of pigment 5 was observed to be very unstable in the pH 5.0 solution and soon decayed. In the pH 5.0 solution, the violet color of pigment 5 was restored as pure blue color by addition of pigment 9 (a main flavonol in this flower) like its fresh flower, and its blue solution exhibited the same three maxima at 546, 583 and 635 nm. On the other hand, the violet color of pigment 5 in the pH 5.0 buffer solution was not restored as pure blue color by addition of deacyl pigment 9 or rutin (a typical flower copigment). It is particularly interesting that, a blue anthocyanin-flavonol complex was extracted from the blue flowers of this plant with H₂O or 5% HOAc solution as a dark blue powder. This complex exhibited the same absorption maxima at 546, 583 and 635 nm in the pH 5.0 buffer solution. Analysis of FAB mass measurement established that this blue anthocyanin-flavonol complex was composed of one molecule each of pigment 5 and pigment 9, exhibiting a molecular ion [M+1] ⁺ at 2102 m/z (C₉₃H₁₀₅O₅₅ calc. 2101.542). However, this blue complex is extremely unstable in acid solution. It really dissociates into pigment 5 and pigment 9.     

Possible involvement of red pigments in defense against mercury in Pseudomonas K-62

Abstract To study the physiological role of the red pigments in soil strain Pseudomonas K-62, we isolated a red pigment-deficient white mutant from the soil strain by treatment with mitomycin C and compared the phenotypic properties of the mutant and parent strain. The red pigments, which were classified as one of carotenoids based on their physicochemical properties, were separated into two groups, designated pigment A and B respectively on NH-Chromatorex HPLC.The crude pigments and pigment B which could react with Hg²⁺ in the wild-type Pseudomonas K-62 and its mercury-resistant plasmid-deficient strain were enhanced by the addition of Hg²⁺. The white mutant thus obtained showed a greater sensitivity to Hg²⁺ than the wild-type reddish strain despite containing the resistant plasmids. The major component in pigment B was identified by mass spectrometric analysis as 1-hydroxy-1-methoxy-1,2, 1',2',7',8'-hexahydro-ψ,ψ-caroten-4-one, a carotenoid monoketone. These results suggested that red pigments, especially pigment B, may account, at least partially, for defense against Hg²⁺ in the bacterial environments.
