Bioactive pigments in functional foods: Insights into their diversity, extraction, and applications.
Review in Food science and biotechnology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Functional food refers to food containing health-promoting additives or nutrients that support human wellness. The industry has grown rapidly due to increasing consumer interest in nutritious and functional products. Pigment-enriched functional foods have emerged as a novel concept in nutrition, offering neuroprotective, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects that help reduce the risk of chronic illnesses. Key innovations such as microencapsulation, nanosensors, nanoencapsulation, and nano delivery systems are transforming the food industry. Nanocarriers improve the targeted delivery of bioactive pigments and ingredients by crossing biological barriers efficiently. These technologies allow controlled nutrient release, precise ingredient delivery, and pollutant detection. Collaboration among researchers, food scientists, healthcare professionals, and policymakers is essential to translate scientific discoveries into real health benefits. This review highlights the potential of functional meals enriched with bio-pigments and explores how nanotechnology and microencapsulation are opening new avenues in therapeutic dietary strategies and personalized nutrition while addressing future health challenges.
