Size distribution was obtained by analysis of dynamic light scattering data. DLS measurements were performed with a ZetaPlus (Zeta Potential Analyzer-Brookhaven, USA) using the particle sizing software (Version 5.2). At the end of fibrillation process for tau protein without crocin, the diameter of particles was significantly increased. In tau protein with crocin (100 μg/ml), the diameter of aggregate forms was remarkably decreased
| Mass (%) | Mean radius±SD (nm) | |

| 5 | 231 ± 55 | |
| Tau + Methylene blue | 95 | 170 ± 39 |
| 5 | 200 ± 21 | |
| Tau +Crocin | 87 | 111 ± 25 |
| 13 | 600 ± 171 |
