Plant pigments are macromolecules produced by specific plant cells. Being able to absorb lights of specified wavelengths, plant pigments play important roles in capturing energy from sunlight and to power the chemical reactions (i.e., photosynthesis) in plant cells.
Natural occurring plant pigments possess different structures and biochemical features. Accordingly, they are responsible for the capture of lights with different wavelengths. So far, the most well-characterized plant pigments are:
Aside from absorbing light, pigments in plants, especially those in flowers, also help attract insects and animals by displaying a colorful image. More importantly, plant pigments have high industrial values, especially for the food production as they are not only important resources for food formulation, but also have desirable nutritional values. For example, carotenoid contains rich vitamin A, which is beneficial for vision improvement and skin protection. Therefore, accurate evaluation of plant pigments is critical for both plant growth regulation and industrial applications.
Lifeasible is a highly-reputed plant biotechnology company with a long history of plant biochemical studies. We provide a diversified analytical approaches for rapid and precise quantification and identification of different plant pigments.
With years of experience in plant pigment analysis, Lifeasible is devoted to providing our customers with the most cutting-edge technologies and reliable solutions. In order to meet the needs from different projects and to achieve the best-quality data for your project, we offer customized services for specialized experimental purposes. For example, we are capable of establishing and optimizing spectroscopic standards, equation sets, as well as determining absorbance coefficients for specific spectroscopic assays. Our large in-house selection of reverse-phase columns (C8, C18, C30, π-NAP, cholester, etc.) and auxiliary apparatuses ensures that each project is supported with the most optimal equipment. Last but not least, we offer featured one-stop services that cover every step from sample to data, which saves you time, labor and money.
