The three most important suppliers today are on a commercial level: squid, cuttlefish and octopus. Squid and cuttlefish are decapods, that is, they have eight arms and two tentacles, octopuses are octopods, with eight arms. Both arms, like the tentacles, are rich in tactile cells.
As a defense they have ink, which is an evolutionary trick used to mislead and confuse predators' chemical detection of one's body, and which is expelled through a siphon in case of imminent danger.
This ink contains a pigment called melanin, on which the pigmentation of human skin is also based. Melanin is produced through specialized cells, which are synthesized melanocytes, which are also found in the eye, brain stem and spinal cord. Melanin is a pigment made up of polymers of different types of molecules that perform different functions in the body, such as protection against solar radiation, hair coloring and skin. In addition to melanin, the ink contains polysaccharides and amino acids, which are very effective in the prevention and treatment of some diseases.
Scientific studies have attributed to cephalopod ink some therapeutic functions such as an antidepressant, anti-tumor, inhibitor of some carcinogenic processes, as well as disinfectant, antibiotic, antifungal and cardiovascular protection properties.
In homeopathy it is used against depression, apathy, fatigue, weakness, hypertension, skin problems, blemishes, etc.
From the culinary point of view, which is best known, it is an extraordinary ingredient and a healthy and natural food used for centuries in China and Japan and then in Spain, Italy, Croatia, etc., to season rice, pasta, the same cephalopods, fish, croquettes, potatoes, etc., more recently exquisite products such as bread, oil, garlic mayonnaise, salt have been colored with ink and in Japan a well-known chain of FastFood has marketed the "premium kuro burger" (see photo) and even a refreshing healthy drink.
