Colorants are widely used in our daily lives to give colors diverse chemicals and materials, including clothes, food, drugs, cosmetics, paints. Although synthetic colorants derived from fossil fuels have been predominantly due their low cost, there is a growing need replace them with natural alternatives. This shift driven by increasing concerns over the climate crisis caused excessive fuel use, as well health issues associated consumption of foods, beverages, cosmetics containing petroleum-derived chemicals. In addition, many show health-promoting properties such antioxidant antimicrobial activities. Despite advantages, could not be readily commercialized distributed market stability, limited color spectrum, yields resources. To this end, biology approaches developed efficiently produce renewable resources high yields. Strategies diversify non-natural derivatives enhanced an expanded spectrum also developed. Review, we discuss recent strategies for enhancing production derivatives, together accompanying examples. Challenges ahead future perspectives discussed.
