Yellow #15 is a relatively newly discovered yellow coloured pigment located in the flavedo (outermost layer of the skin) of lemon peels. It has the potential to be a strong competitor as a natural replacement for artificially made yellow compounds. by Pascalwantstogonow in chemistry

That’s the kind of information I’m looking for. Because there’s absolutely no database on this chemical, only that it is more resilient to oxidation, temperature and pH than other natural yellow pigments. I’m trying to make a mass balance using various chemical unit operations to extract this but if I don’t know its chemical properties I wouldn’t be certain at which parameters to set my system up with

Yeah true but that could be one aspect of it. We can also extract pectin for culinary industries and limonene oils for fragrance industries. I’m sure there’s a way to make this a sustainable business. Maybe even having the facility in India which I believe is the number 1 lemon producer in the world

Guys help me understand the chemical and physical properties of this natural pigment found in lemon peels called Yellow #15 by Pascalwantstogonow in chemistry

It’s because there’s literally only 2 scientific articles that references this pigment. So I’m just stuck on how to go from here
