Indigo and indigo-like pigments are widely used in the industry of textile, food and medicine. Now people pays more and more attention to developing an alternative method of indigo production which is...
Anthraquinone immobilised onto the surface of indigo microcrystals enhances the reductive dissolution of indigo to leuco-indigo. Indigo reduction is driven by glucose in aqueous NaOH and a vibrating g...
Analysis of extracts from two woad species (Isatis tinctoria and Isatis indigotica) and Polygonum tinctorium revealed that only one indigo precursor (indican) was present in Polygonum, but two precurs...
Adsorption of several crude and purified cellulases (from Trichoderma reesei, Penicillium verruculosum and Chrysosporium lucknowense) on indigo particles and Avicel cellulose was studied. Much higher ...
Indigo carmine blue is a water-soluble, light-sensitive, anionic dye most widely applied in microscopic staining techniques. It is virtually nonfluorescent in its oxidized state in aqueous solution, b...
A metabolite-profiling study of shock-frozen leaves of Isatis tinctoria L., an old indigo dye plant and medicinal herb, revealed a complex pattern of indigo-forming compounds with higher polarities th...
Although the color of indigo is strongly dependent on its environment, it is blue in most commonly encountered situations. Indigo's absorption at such long wavelengths for such a small molecule is uni...
