This document presents information on plant pigments and their roles. It discusses that pigments absorb specific wavelengths of light and reflect others, giving them their color. The primary pigments in plants are chlorophyll, carotenoids, xanthophylls, anthocyanins, and betalins. Chlorophyll is the main photosynthesis pigment and absorbs blue and yellow light, reflecting green. Carotenoids and xanthophylls help capture light not absorbed by chlorophyll. Anthocyanins provide red to blue colors and betalins provide red or yellow colors. Together, plant pigments perform vital functions in photosynthesis, attracting pollinators, and providing anti-oxidant benefits.
Overview of the pigment Chlorophyll, its sources, types, structure, photoreceptors, benefits, stability, degradation, preservation during food processing and technologies associated with it.

Thank you.
Pigments or Biological Pigments can be simply defined as Biochromes or Pigments. These are the substances that are produced by living organisms and have a color that results from the color absorption techniques.

Photosynthesis is important to living organisms because it is the number one source of oxygen in the atmosphere. Almost all the oxygen in the atmosphere is due to the process of photosynthesis. If photosynthesis ceased, there would soon be little food or other organic matter on Earth, most organisms would disappear, and Earth’s atmosphere would eventually become nearly devoid of gaseous oxygen.

How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. INTRODUCTION: WHAT ARE PIGMENTS ?
Pigments are “molecules that absorb specific
wavelength (energies) of light and reflect all others.”
Pigments are coloured.
The colour we see is the net effect of all the light
reflecting back at us…!
They are the substances produced by living
organisms that have a colour resulting from
selective colour absorption.
3. WHAT DO I MEAN BY “ABSORB” ?
Electrons exist at specific levels
Normally exist at lowest specific levels
However, if enough energy comes to boost them
into the next level, they can ABSORB that
energy…!!! And occupy that higher level.
4. WHAT DO I MEAN BY “ABSORB” ?
(CONT…)
The light they absorb contains just the right amount of energy
to push them into the next level.
Light not having enough energy or having too much energy is
reflected back…!!!
Electron does not want to stay at higher level
It wants to return because it is unstable there.
Inorder to do this it has to release energy that has put it into
higher level.
5. WAYS TO RELEASE ENERGY ??
By heat: Conversion in molecular motion
By fluorescence: Losing e- by light
By Resonance: The energy but not the e- itself can
be passed on to another molecule.
By transferring the electron to another molecule
-------------------- Plant pigments usually utilize the last two of these
reactions to convert the sun’s energy into their own.
6. BIOLOGICAL PIGMENTS
Produced by living organisms.
Have a colour resulting from selective colour
absorption.
Include “Plant pigments” and “Flower pigments.”
Biological structures such as
Skin
Eyes
Fur
Hair
Contain “melanin” pigment in specialized cells called
“chromatophores”.
7. PIGMENT COLOUR V/S STRUCTURAL
COLOUR
Pigments colour differs from structural colour.
Pigment colour: “Same for all viewing angles”.
Structural colour: “ Result of selective reflection or
iridescence, usually because of multilayer structure.
For example butterfly wings typically contain
structural colour, although many butterflies have
cells that contain pigment as well.
8. TYPES OF BIOLOGICAL PIGMENTS
1. Heme/Porphyrin based: Chlorophyll, bilirubin,
hemoglobin, myoglobin.
2. Light Emitting: Luciferin
3. Carotenoids:
i)
Hematochromes : Algal pigments, mixes of
carotenoids and their derivatives.
ii)
Carotenes: alpha and beta Carotene
iii)
Xanthophylls: Oxidised Carotenes (Eg.
Canthaxanthin)
4. Proteinaceous : Phytochrome
5. Polyene enolates: A class of red pigments unique to
parrots
6. Other: Melanin, Urochrome, flavanoids
9. PIGMENTS IN PLANTS-:
The Principal pigments in plants are-:
1. Chlorophyll
2. Carotenoids
3. Xanthophylls
4. Anthocyanins
5. Betalins
10. PRIMARY FUNCTION OF PIGMENTS IN
PLANTS:Primary Function : Photosynthesis
Uses green pigment chlorophyll along with several
red and yellow pigments.
Help to capture as much light as possible.
Other functions include attracting insects to flowers
to encourage pollination.
11. CHLOROPHYLL
Primary pigment in plant.
Chlorin absorbs yellow and blue wavelengths.
Reflecting green.
All land plants and green algae have two types of
chlorophyll.
Chlorophyll a and Chlorophyll b.
Kelps and photosynthetic heterokonts contain
Chlorophyll c.
Chlorophyll serve as fuel to photosynthesis.
13. MORE ABOUT CHLOROPHYLL-:
Name derived from greek words
Chloros means “green” and phyllon means “leaf”.
Synthesized from succinyl-CoA and Glycine.
Immediate precursor to Chlorophyll A and B is
protochlorophyllide.
Contains hydrophobic phytol chain embedded in
lipid membrane.
Rest structure is tetrapyrrolic ring.
It is the part of pigment that absorbs the energy
from light.
14. CHLOROPHYLL AND PHOTOSYNTHESIS
Autotrophic Process: Plants and plant-like organisms make
their energy (glucose) from sunlight.
Stored as carbohydrate in their bodies.
6CO2 + 6H2O + sunlight C6H12O6 + 6O2
Makes organic molecules (glucose) out of inorganic materials
(carbon dioxide and water).
It begins all food chains/webs. Thus all life is supported by
this process.
It also makes oxygen gas!!
15. WHY ONLY GREEN AND NOT BLACK ??
Black Colour is the best absorber of light.
Then why couldn’t plants evolve this change ?
Plants except some red algae appear brown or
green but not black. Why ?
If plants had pigments that absorbed UV and XRays, this would mean that electrons could be
knocked off their orbitals and the molecule
destroyed.
If plants absorbed IR and Radio waves, there would
not be enough energy for electron transfer, just
enough to warm up the molecule.
16. CAROTENOIDS:
Red, orange or yellow pigments.
Function as accessory pigments in plants.
Absorb wavelength not readily absorbed by
chlotophyll.
Ex: Carotene ( Found in Carrots)
Lutein ( Yellow pigment found in fruits and
vegetables).
Lycopene ( Red pigment in tomatoes)
17. ROLE OF CAROTENOIDS
Attract pollinators and seed dispersers
Accessory photosynthetic Pigment in periods of
low light,
Absorbs excess light energy,
Anti oxidant roles,
Substrate for hormones
19. ANTHOCYANINS:
Literally “Flower blue”
Water soluble flavanoid pigments
Colour appear as red to blue, acc to pH.
Occur in all tissues of higher plants but colour not
noticeable.
Have purple colur and are present in:
vegetables
(onions, cabbage, potatoes), red, blue & purple
berries, black beans
20. ROLE OF ANTHOCYANINS:
attract
pollinators and seed dispersers
repel predators, protect cells from damage
by excess light,
improve plant tolerance to stress such as
drought, U V-B,
improve night vision and other vision
disorders, protect against heart disease,
21. BETALINS
Red or yellow pigments.
Water soluble.
Synthesized from tyrosine.
Never co-occur in plants having anthocyanins.
Occur in:
beets (red and yellow ), chard, spinach, fruit of
prickly-pear cactus.
22. ROLE OF BETALINS
Anti oxidant,
May protect against heart disease,
various cancers,
ulcers,
liver damage
23. XANTHOPHYLLS
Fourth
common class of pigments
Essentially oxidized carotenes
Usually red and yellow
Do not absorb energy as well as
carotenoids.
24. CONCLUSION:
Life would be nothing without Plants…
And Plants would be nothing without colours…
Green plants having chlorophyll have a vital role in
photosynthesis, a process neccessary for life on
earth.
Red and yellow plants and flowers having
carotenoids or Betalins provide fresh fruits, and
help in pollination.
Blue plants and flowers having Anthocyanins are
strong anti-oxidants.
