The biological pigment melanin is present in most of the biological systems. It manifests a
host of biological and pharmacological properties. Its role as a molecule with special …

Melanin is an irregular light-absorbing polymer containing indoles and other intermediate
products derived from the oxidation of tyrosine. Melanin is widely dispersed in the animal …

We present a new method for studying melanin in vivo based on diffuse reflectance
spectroscopy of human skin. We find that the optical absorption spectrum of in vivo melanin …

Melanin is a complex multifunctional pigment found in all kingdoms of life, including fungi.
The complex chemical structure of fungal melanins, yet to be fully elucidated, lends them …

Production of the microbial pigments is one of the emerging fields of research due to a
growing interest of the industry for safer products, easily degradable and eco-friendly. Fungi …

Melamine is a nitrogen-rich chemical that has received much attention in recent years owing
to a series of highly publicized food safety incidents. It is purposely added to foods by …

Melanins, the ubiquitous hetero-polymer pigments found widely dispersed among various
life forms, are usually dark brown/black in colour. Although melanins have variety of …

In this study, the production and structure of melanin produced by Auricularia auricula have
been determined and analyzed in detail. The results showed that the highest mycelial …

Melanins are natural biopolymers that are known to contribute to different biological
processes and to protect organisms from adverse environmental conditions. During the past …
