Abstract:

Pigments from natural sources, such as bacterial pigments, have gained increased attention in recent years due to their biodegradability, non-toxicity, and noncarcinogenicity. The intention to replace synthetic and oil-derived compounds is not restricted to synthetic dyes; other applications include the replacement of oilderived polymers for more environmentally friendly options, such as biopolymers. In this work, the functionalization of a bacterial cellulose (BC) biopolymer with bacterial pigments was explored using a full factorial design methodology to evaluate the best functionalization conditions to produce colored BC. From the factors and interactions evaluated, it was possible to conclude that the variable duration of the functionalization procedure could be reduced to a low level without significantly affecting the functionalization of the BC samples with bacterial pigments. Moreover, BC is a product with high industrial applicability, versatility, and sustainability. Hence, the multifunctional colored BC can be applied in the packaging, paper, and textile industries, among others.

Keywords: bacterial pigments, bacterial cellulose, full-factorial design, optimization
