Pigments

A way that helps you have some pigments to take biomanufacturing to another level. Use some carrots from the garden and separate the carrots from the leaves.

Use a grater to open the molecules of the carrot and that way more liquid will come out that will transform into pigment.

Short-Time Boil the grated carrot in water. Then strain the carrot and reserve the water to biofabricate and make more products since it has many properties.

Use a strainer with a cloth to squeeze as much as possible and separate the liquid from the dough

The resulting liquid is ready to use, it does not oxidize. The resulting biomass can now be dried, you can put it in the oven for 6 hours or place it in a dehydrator.

The dehydrated biomass is placed in a mortar and ground until it is a fine powder.

To extract the pigment from the leaves is already a little more complicated since it is easy for it to oxidize and darken.

The dehydrated biomass is placed in a mortar and ground until it is a fine powder.

Cut the leaves very small, including the stems as well.

You can use a mortar or parchment paper and a roller to break the molecule of the leaves and be able to extract the liquid.

Use a strainer with a cloth to squeeze as much as possible and separate the liquid from the mass.

Usage of alternative solvents is preferential for extraction and concentration (acetone, DMF)

Application of detergents (soap) and hypertonic solutions (more saline than cell cytoplasm) to maximise cell lysis (disruption)
