| Abstract | ||||
| Octopus ink, as fish waste, is a good source of melanin pigment powder was prepared from the ink sac, Gross chemical composition, mineral content, total phenolic content, amino acid content, protein pattern, UV-vis spectra, microbiological examination, and antioxidant activity were determined. Protein, ash, fat, total phenolicand antioxidant activity were 36.59%, 8.90%, 0.08%, 218.06 mg/kg and 46.40%, respectively. Magnesium and copper were 116.53 and 15.15 mg/100g, respectively. Serine content was 56.4%.The powder was free from Salmonella spp/25g. Melanin powder was added to colorize pasta and olive paste, and the results of the sensory evaluation indicated that pasta cooked in 1% melanin powder were highly accepted by panelists.
