Crystalline pigment composition with high color intensity and low sugar content
A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20230151185A1) describes a composition and colorant derived from plants or algae. The composition consists of crystalline pigments produced through refractive window drying or freeze drying, resulting in glassy, angular crystals with micropores. These pigments can be in the form of a water-soluble powder and exhibit a higher color intensity compared to raw juice extracted from the plants or algae. The glassy, angular crystals in the composition are larger than those produced by spray drying.
The patent also claims a colorant made from a photosynthetic organism, such as a plant or algae, using the same production methods of refractive window drying or freeze drying. The resulting colorant is a powder composed of glassy, angular crystals. These crystals possess micropores and are larger than those obtained through spray drying. Additionally, the powder has a higher particle density compared to powders produced by spray drying.
This patent introduces a novel method for producing crystalline pigments and colorants derived from plants or algae. The use of refractive window drying or freeze drying allows for the creation of glassy, angular crystals with micropores, resulting in a composition and colorant with enhanced color intensity. The larger size of these crystals compared to those produced by spray drying suggests potential advantages in terms of pigment stability and performance. Furthermore, the higher particle density of the powder produced by this method may offer improved dispersibility and application properties.
The patent's claims provide valuable insights into the unique characteristics and production methods of these compositions and colorants. Further research and development in this area could lead to the creation of innovative and high-performance pigments and colorants for various applications, including cosmetics, food coloring, and textile dyeing.
