Abstract
The future depends on the growth and development of bioprocess engineering for manufacturing as well as improvement of commercial products. Modern food industry leads to an increase in the production of cheaper, healthier, and more convenient food products without any harm to the human body. Therefore, consumer’s demand for more natural food products, having health benefits, has increased over the years. PBPs are one of the most promising food products that are being used efficiently by people as additive and marketed as food and cosmetic colorant in Japan, China, India, and other European and Asian countries. Apart from nutritional value of PBPs, it stimulates the immune defense system and possesses antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, anticancer, and cholesterol-lowering effects. PC is more stable than indigo and gardenia and emits a bright blue fluorescent color in jelly gum, soft candies, fermented milk products, ice creams, soft drinks, desserts, sweet cake decoration, milk shakes, and cosmetics.
