As known, color plays a dominant role in orienting consumer choices. Beyond the individual perception, color expressed by foodstuff is strictly associated to quality, genuineness, work-up and storage conditions and could be correlated with the presence of a characteristic chemical profile. This represents a matter of crucial importance in functional foods, where bioactive molecules are often intensely colored and in all foods whose composition change could undergo bleaching and browning processes.
