Natural plant pigments are safe and have low toxicity, with various nutrients and biological activities. However, the extraction, preservation, and application of pigments are limited due to the instability of natural pigments. Therefore, it is necessary to examine the extraction and application processes of natural plant pigments in detail. This review discusses the classification, extraction methods, biological activities, and modification methods that could improve the stability of various pigments from plants, providing a reference for applying natural plant pigments in the industry and the cosmetics, food, and pharmaceutical industries.
天然植物色素安全性高、毒性低，且含有多种营养成分和生物活性。但由于天然色素的不稳定性，其提取、保存和应用受到限制。因此，有必要详细研究天然植物色素的提取和应用过程。本综述讨论了植物中各种色素的分类、提取方法、生物活性以及可以提高其稳定性的改性方法，为天然植物色素在工业和化妆品、食品、制药行业的应用提供参考。
