The natural dye was extracted by immersion of fresh Morns nigra (black mulberry) in ethanol for several hours. The pure violet dye extract, a blend of p-carotene and Morus nigra, and a composite blend of chlorophyll A and B, carminic acid, trans-P-carotene, and Morus nigra extracts (hereafter called Mix) were deposited on Ti02. 

The adsorption spectra in the UV-visible range of the extracts exhibit different broad bands depending on the component of the mixtures photocurrent measurements show larger bands in comparison with those derived from adsorbed dyes. In particular, in the case of Mix, a bathochromic shift of about 40 nm was observed the proposed rationale is a band interruption between density states of Ti02 and the HOMO-LUMO in the dye. Moreover, the photocurrent response derives predominantly from the superposition of those of Morus nigra and carminic acid. 

Concerning the photovoltaic devices, when subjected to solar emission at AM 1.5, the short-circuit current (Isc) signals were 480,530, and 600 pA for Morus nigra, Morus nigra plus P-carotene and Mix, respectively. This means that the best performances were observed in the case of the blend of all organic derivatives used.

Among the most intensively investigated of all the chalcone Diels Alder adducts are a group obtained solely from Morus species in which the diene component of the reaction is a dehydroprenylflavanone. The structures of several such compounds published prior to 1992 have now been revised on the basis of new spectroscopic and chemical data. Among the most important of the techniques used were two-dimensional NMR and circular dichroism spectroscopy. The revised structures listed in Table 16.5 are those of sanggenons C (210), D (211), E (212), and O (213). In these compounds, the flavanones show the common feature...

Morus alba callus and cell suspension cultures specifically produce chalomoradn 5 and kuwanon J 6 from dnnamoylpolyketide intermediates. Administration of [2- C]cinnamic add AT-acetylcysteamine thioester to the M. alba cell cultures revealed the cinnamoyl CoA intermediate to be a significant precursor <99H(50)989>.
