The breakdown of erythrocytes is the function, but it is the waste product of this function, bile pigment bilirubin which is altered by microbes in the large intestine, resultant urobilinogen, which is converted to STERCOBILIN and excreted in the faeces. It is therefore the by product of this function, STERCOBILIN which deodorises and gives faeces its brown colour.
