This study purified the pigment of black sturgeon caviar and identified it as a typical black pigment through chemical degradation and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) evidence. Analysis of oxidative degradation mixtures revealed the formation of a specific marker of eumelanin pigments, providing a novel molecular basis for the valorization of black caviar and production wastes in food chemistry and diet.
Reported herein is the purification of the pigment of black sturgeon caviar and its unambiguous identification as a typical eumelanin by means of chemical degradation coupled with electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) evidence. HPLC and LC-MS analysis of oxidative degradation mixtures revealed the formation of pyrrole-2,3,5-tricarboxylic acid (PTCA), a specific marker of eumelanin pigments, in yields compatible with a 6.5% w/w pigment content. EPR spectral features and parameters were in close agreement with those reported for a typical natural eumelanin such as Sepia melanin from squid ink. The identification for the first time of eumelanin in a fish roe is expected to provide a novel molecular basis for the valorization of black caviar and production wastes thereof in food chemistry and diet.
