Pigment # 4. Carotene: This pigment gives colour to yellow and orange vegetables such as carrot, corn, winter squash, sweet potato, tomato, and red pepper. This is the most stable of the colour pigments. It is only slightly affected by acids or alkalis. However, long cooking periods can make the colour of the vegetables dull.
