BIOTRANSFORMATION OF SAFFLOWER-YELLOW-B TO CARTHAMIN, A COLORING MATTER OF SAFFLOWER

Safflower yellow B, one of the yellow coloring components of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.), was transformed to red carthamin and safflomin-A in cultured safflower cells. This result suggests that carthamin and other yellow coloring matters are biogenetically derived from safflower yellow B in...

Summary:Safflower yellow B, one of the yellow coloring components of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.), was transformed to red carthamin and safflomin-A in cultured safflower cells. This result suggests that carthamin and other yellow coloring matters are biogenetically derived from safflower yellow B in the florets of safflower.
