Revival of Sustainable Fungal‐Based Natural Pigments

Le résumé fourni par la source

Dyes and pigments are colorful substances that are chemically bound to the substrate, such as fiber, fabrics, elastomers, plastics, and hair, on which they are applied. Natural dyes can be classified based on sources such as animal-based natural dye, plant-based natural dye, mineral-based natural dye, and microbial-based natural dye. Microbial-based natural dyes can be further classified into three categories: bacterial-based natural dye, algal-based natural dye, and fungal-based natural dye. In this chapter, the authors describe fungal-based natural dyes and pigments. Fungi families are Monascaceae, Trichocomaceae, Nectriaceae, Hypocreaceae, Pleosporaceae, Cordycipitaceae, Xylariaceae, Chaetomiaceae, Sordariaceae, Chlorociboriaceae, Hyaloscyphaceae, Hymenochaetaceae, Polyporaceae, and Ophiostomataceae. Natural fungal pigments are very eco-friendly and safe for the world due to their appropriate color production and negative cytotoxicity results.
