Some of the long history ofshellfish purple is recounted Understanding how the dye is produced from molluscs, the composition of the pigment and the chemistry involved has only been achieved as a result of the advances in analytical chemistry in the twentieth century, but some mysteries remain. Other diverse aspects such as the taste of the molluscs, the actual colour of the dye, the smell associated with the production and even the application in photography contribute to the fascination of the subject.
贝类紫的悠久历史简述 了解了贝类如何产生染料、色素的成分以及相关化学物质，这只是由于二十世纪分析化学的进步才得以实现，但仍有一些谜团存在。其他方面，如贝类的味道、染料的实际颜色、生产过程中的气味，甚至在摄影中的应用，都增添了这一主题的魅力。
