Exploiting the Thermotropic Behavior of Hydroxypropyl Cellulose to Produce Edible Photonic Pigments
Abstract: Hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) is a widely commercialized cellulose derivative. While it is typically used as a binder or stabilizer for foods and pharmaceuticals, it can also form a cholesteric liquid crystal in aqueous solution. Moreover, at high HPC concentrations this lyotropic and thermotropic mesophase is known to reflect structural color. However, it remains a challenge to retain this vibrant coloration into the solid state. Herein, by combining the emulsification of a HPC mesophase with drying at elevated temperature, solid microparticles are produced that can reflect color across the visible spectrum, from blue to green and red. This method provides a facile and scalable pathway to fabricate structurally colored, edible pigments, which can displace existing synthetic additives used in a wide range of foods and cosmetics.
