Melanin is a pigmentated polymer with antioxidant capacity, and it also plays a role as a quality factor in those fungi that can synthetize it. However, this pigment is soluble only in alkaline solutions, limiting its application. This work used ultrasonication of fungal melanin, extracted from nonviable Cordyceps javanica CHE-CNRCB 307 conidia, and obtained hydrophilic melanin. Suspensions of freshly harvested conidia from Be...
