It also discusses the biological properties of natural pigments with its application in different fields. This review investigates the production of natural pigments using current technologies and summarizes the challenge towards natural pigment production. These natural pigments can be produced from various sources like plants, microorganisms, and marine-algae which contain bioactive compounds that have been used for the treatment of chronic diseases.

Thus, the production of natural pigments have an increased demand in food, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and textile industries.

One of the most effective replacements for these dyes are the natural pigments produced from eco-friendly and degradable biological sources. Although they meet up higher demands, they equally pose a threat by increasing the rate of water pollution and several environmental risks due to lack of proper treatment methods for the disposal of these dyes. In the present-world scenario, synthetic dyes play a major role in most of the industrial sectors for various purposes.
