Pigments and Colors: Natural Pigments or Plant Pigments PRUTHVIRAJ K
Biological pigments, also known simply as pigments or biochromes, are substances produced by living organisms that have a color resulting from selective color absorption. Biological pigments include plant pigments and flower pigment
Vegetables are important part of our daily diet, It has essential nutrients that helps in normal functioning of the body. Pigments present in them are responsible for the colour before and prior to cooking. They too have nutritional aspects

Chemistry and biotechnology of carotenoids.pptxSaloniSen3
Carotenoids, the colored pigments ranging from light yellow through orange to deep red, are biosynthesized by all photosynthetic bacteria, cyanobacteria, algae, higher plants and also by some non-photosynthetic bacteria, fungi, and yeasts. The characteristic colors of many birds, insects, and marine invertebrates are also due to the presence of carotenoids, which originate from the diet. Animals are not able to synthesize carotenoids and rely upon the diet as a source of these compounds. More than 600 carotenoids are characterized structurally and the list is increasing continuously as newer compounds are being discovered. Commercially, carotenoids are used as colorants for human food and nutritional supplements, as feed additives to enhance the pigmentation of fish and eggs, as pharmaceutical products, and in the agriculture and cosmetic industry (Bramley,2003).
The major function of these isoprenoid molecules in plants is in photosynthesis wherein they protect the photosynthetic apparatus from excess light. They are also intermediates in the biosynthesis of abscissic acid and other apocarotenoids.
In recent years there has been considerable interest in the dietary carotenoids due to their provitamin A activity (Olson and Hayaishi, 1965; Nagao et al., 1997), high antioxidant potential (Sies and Stahl, 2003), and their ability to prevent the onset of certain cancers (Giovannuci, 1999; Gann et al., 1999) as well as age-related macular degeneration (Landrum and Bone, 2001).
The beneficial role of carotenoids in maintaining human health, their important role in plant photo protection, their versatile usage as food and feed supplements, and their applications in cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries make them potential candidates for enhancement and manipulation. Over
the past three decades advances in molecular genetics and biotechnological approaches have led to the understanding of carotenoid biosynthesis and its manipulation in microorganisms and higher plants. Even though the structural genes of carotenoid biosynthesis have been identified and cloned, the regulation of
carotenoid biosynthesis pathway is poorly understood. Therefore, the type and amount of carotenoids to be accumulated by transformation is still unpredicted. The current paper reviews the advances made in carotenoid biosynthesis and its regulation. It also gives information about the metabolic engineering attempted in various microbes and higher plants with future research directions.
Nutraceuticals is a broad umbrella term that is used to describe any product derived from food sources with extra health benefits in addition to the basic nutritional value found in foods.Nutraceutical, a portmanteau of the words “nutrition” and “pharmaceutical”, was coined in 1989 by Stephen L. DeFelice, founder and chairman of the Foundation of Innovation Medicine.[1] The term is applied to products that range from isolated nutrients, dietary supplements and herbal products, specific diets and processed foods such as cereals, soups, and beverages.

Hamdard Laboratories (India), is a Unani pharmaceutical company in India (following the independence of India from Britain, "Hamdard" Unani branches were established in Bangladesh (erstwhile East Pakistan) and Pakistan). It was established in 1906 by Hakeem Hafiz Abdul Majeed in Delhi, and became
a waqf (non-profitable trust) in 1948. It is associated with Hamdard Foundation, a charitable educational trust.
Hamdard' is a compound word derived from Persian, which combines the words 'hum' (used in the sense of 'companion') and 'dard' (meaning 'pain'). 'Hamdard' thus means 'a companion in pain' and 'sympathizer in suffering'.
The goals of Hamdard were lofty; easing the suffering of the sick with healing herbs. With a simple tenet that no one has ever become poor by giving, Hakeem Abdul Majeed let the whole world find compassion in him.
They had always maintained that working in old, traditional ways would not be entirely fruitful. A broader outlook was essential for a continued and meaningful existence. their effective team at Hamdard helped the system gain its pride of place and thus they made an entry into an expansive world of discovery and research.
Hamdard Laboratories was founded in 1906 in Delhi by Hakeem Hafiz Abdul Majeed and Ansarullah Tabani, a Unani practitioner. The name Hamdard means "companion in suffering" in Urdu language.(itself borrowed from Persian) Hakim Hafiz Abdul Majeed was born in Pilibhit City UP, India in 1883 to Sheikh Rahim Bakhsh. He is said to have learnt the complete Quran Sharif by heart. He also studied the origin of Urdu and Persian languages. Subsequently, he acquired the highest degree in the unani system of medicine.
Hakim Hafiz Abdul Majeed got in touch with Hakim Zamal Khan, who had a keen interest in herbs and was famous for identifying medicinal plants. Having consulted with his wife, Abdul Majeed set up a herbal shop at Hauz Qazi in Delhi in 1906 and started to produce herbal medicine there. In 1920 the small herbal shop turned into a full-fledged production house.
Hamdard Foundation was created in 1964 to disburse the profits of the company to promote the interests of the society. All the profits of the company go to the foundation.
After Abdul Majeed's death, his son Hakeem Abdul Hameed took over the administration of Hamdard Laboratories at the age of fourteen.
Even with humble beginnings, the goals of Hamdard were lofty; easing the suffering of the sick with healing herbs. With a simple tenet that no one has ever become poor by giving, Hakeem Abdul Majeed let the whole world find compassion in him. Unfortunately, he passed away quite early but his wife, Rabia Begum, with the support of her son, Hakeem Abdul Hameed, not only kept the institution in existence but also expanded it. As he grew up, Hakeem Abdul Hameed took on all responsibilities. After helping with his younger brother's upbringing and education, he included him in running the institution. Both brothers Hakeem Abdul Hameed and Hakim Mohammed
