ABSTRACT
The pigment contained in food will determine the color of the food itself. The
strongest pigment will give a dominant color to a food. for example, the chlorophyll
pigment in plants gives a strong green color compared to other pigments in chloroplasts.
The purpose of this practicum is to find out the effect of different kinds of behavior on
pigments and compare them. Pigments in vegetables and fruits or food and drinks can
change when heating, adding acids, bases and metals. Pigments are used as indicators of
freshness or maturity. The results obtained in the cooking treatment of green vegetables
(in this case spinach) greatly affect the pH, color and texture. Acids, bases, and heavy
metals will affect several pigments according to their respective properties. The color
and texture in meat is easy to change even if only by soaking. In the freshness of the meat
test there is white smoke when the meat is stored above the eber solution, indicating the
meat is less fresh, whereas the H2S test is positive. Na-nitrite and vitamin C are more
effective for preserving the color of the meat because the red color is keeped originally
bright enough (slightly pale).
