Abstract:
Present study aimed to evaluate natural colorant removal efficiency of carbon derived from biomass of the ‘golden fibre’. The study indicated that derived carbon is capable of removing various natural pigments namely, chlorophylls, lycopenes, carotemoids and xanthophylls from important vegetable crops like spinach and tomato, and commercial crops like tea and chewing tobacco, respectively. Therefore, such kind of carbon can be used for removing natural pigments from various samples and hold application potential for industrial applications including refineries, testing laboratories etc
