2435-59-8DTXSID401359408CHEBI:79296DescriptionIndigoidine is a blue-violet organic pigment related to the Azaquinones group and synthesized by bacterial strains. It is biosynthesized by bacterial species such as Streptomyces chromofuscus,E. coli,and Corynebacterium insidiosum (Gangulyet al. 2019). It is used as a food colorant in cereal, baking, and ice-cream industries.
UsesIndigoidine natural blue dye is a promising alternative to the synthetic dyes used to colored jeans, leather, food, beverages, cosmetics and paper. The blue color of the indigoidine compound is bright and sustainable. As a natural dye, it has promising health benefits as an antioxidant and antimicrobial actor. Because of a new purification process patented with the compound, indigoidine natural blue dye is safe to use in food and drinks.
DefinitionChEBI: Indigoidine is a member of the class of pyridone that is a dimeric blue pigment biosynthesised from L-glutamine. It has a role as a bacterial metabolite and a biological pigment. It is a pyridone, a ring assembly, a dicarboximide and an enamine. It derives from a L-glutamine.
DefinitionPigment characterization:Identification of interrupted genes in the nonpigmented mutants suggested that the blue compound produced by Y4I was indigoidine, a bicyclic 3,3′-bipyridyl molecule synthesized by the cyclization of two glutamine molecules. The absorbance spectrum of the purified compound in DMSO has a peak at 612 nm, which has been previously reported as the absorbance maximum of indigoidine. Profiles of the Y4I variant show that absorbance at this wavelength for the clpA::Tn5 mutant is approximately five times higher than that of the wild-type strain[1].
