Roles Classification
Chemical Roles:
antioxidant  A substance that opposes oxidation or inhibits reactions brought about by dioxygen or peroxides.
Bronsted acid  A molecular entity capable of donating a hydron to an acceptor (Brønsted base).
Biological Roles:
food colouring  A food additive that imparts colour to food. In European countries, E-numbers for permitted food colours are from E 100 to E 199, divided into yellows (E 100-109), oranges (E 110-119), reds (E 120-129), blues and violets (E 130-139), greens (E 140-149), browns and blacks (E 150-159), and others (E 160-199).
biological pigment  An endogenous molecular entity that results in a colour of an organism as the consequence of the selective absorption of light.
apoptosis inducer  Any substance that induces the process of apoptosis (programmed cell death) in multi-celled organisms.
insulin-sensitizing drug  An agent which overcomes insulin resistance by activation of the peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma (PPAR-gamma).
