What Is Anthocyanin?

Anthocyanin is also known as floral pigment. It is a water-soluble natural pigment commonly found in nature. There are about 20 kinds of anthocyanins known to mankind. And there are 6 kinds of food. For example, geranium pigment, cornflower pigment, peony pigment, and petunia pigment.

 

The application of anthocyanin extract powder is mainly in the field of food. It can colour food, and anthocyanins are also found in fuels, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.

 

Anthocyanins have antioxidant, eyesight protection, anti-cancer and radiation protection properties. It is a chemical treasure of the scientific community. Therefore there is a need for continuous research on the extraction methods of anthocyanins and their application in the food sector.

 

The Main Extraction Technology

• Ultrasonic extraction technology

The ultrasonic extraction method uses ultrasound to accelerate the dissolution of active ingredients. This will increase the extraction efficiency of anthocyanins. The extraction rate of anthocyanin extract powder from purple potatoes reached the highest value when the temperature was kept at 60°C, the ethanol concentration was 90% and the overall processing time was about 1h.

Moreover, after conducting many extraction experiments, scientists found that the ultrasonic technique was more efficient and less destructive to anthocyanins.

 

• Microwave Extraction Technology

Microwave has strong penetrating ability. And microwaves can also promote intermolecular movement. This will play a certain role in heating. Therefore, microwave-assisted extraction can be used to improve the extraction rate of anthocyanins from purple corn cobs and purple-skinned grapes. The anthocyanin extraction efficiency using microwave extraction technology is significantly higher than the traditional solvent extraction method.

 

• Organic solvent extraction technology

Hydrochloric acid and methanol are commonly used solvents for extraction. The use of acidified methanol to extract radish anthocyanins is also very effective. Therefore, organic solvent extraction technology has been applied to the extraction of most anthocyanin-rich substances such as grape seeds, blueberries and pomegranate skins.

 

• Supercritical fluid extraction technology

Supercritical fluid extraction is an extraction method using the effects of temperature and pressure on the solubility of supercritical fluids.

In the supercritical state, after the chemical substances to be separated come into contact with the supercritical fluid, the chemical substances are extracted sequentially, depending on their polar size, molecular weight size, and boiling point. This extraction technique has the advantages of a high extraction rate, no solvent residue and low energy consumption for extraction.

 

However, due to the polar characteristics of anthocyanin extract powder, attention must be paid to the mixing of pressure and organic solvents during the extraction, and the purity of anthocyanins extracted by supercritical fluid extraction is as high as 97.82%.

In the above extraction techniques, solvent extraction is easy to operate. However, in practice, there are problems of longer extraction time, greater solvent consumption and pollution of the external environment. The ultrasonic and microwave technologies are more efficient, although the requirements for experimental equipment are higher.

 

Application

1. Food colouring:

Anthocyanin powder is mainly used for food colouring to add rich colour and nutritional value. It can be used in fruit juice, tea mixed drinks, etc.. For example, added to blueberry juice or grape juice presents a deep purple or blue colour, which not only increases the visual appeal but also provides antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.

2. Medicine and health care products:

Anthocyanin extract powder has a variety of health benefits. Such as antioxidants, improve the circulatory system, enhance the immune system and so on. Therefore, they are often used in medicine and nutraceuticals. For example, anthocyanins bulk powder can help prevent free radical-related diseases as well as improve joint flexibility and prevent allergies. such as cancer and heart disease.

 

3. Cosmetics:

Anthocyanins have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It is also used in cosmetics. This helps maintain skin elasticity and slow down the rate of skin ageing, leading to whitening and lightening of pigmentation.

 

4. Beverage making:

Anthocyanin extract powder can also be used to make specific beverages. Such as blueberry flower tea and purple potato flower tea. These drinks not only have the antioxidant effects of anthocyanins but also combine the health benefits of tea itself.

 

Application of anthocyanins in food

Anthocyanins are widely used in various fields due to their good colouring properties, especially in food colouring technology. However, with the continuous improvement of science and technology, it is found that anthocyanins can not only help food colouring but also have a significant effect on the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease, neurological disease, cancer, diabetes and many other diseases.

 

However, anthocyanins in the processing and storage process, the external environmental conditions have high requirements, temperature, pH, light, moisture and even oxygen will affect the stability of anthocyanins. Adding metal ions, and whey proteins or adjusting the pH value in the anthocyanin solution can help to improve the stability of anthocyanins. In addition, microencapsulation of anthocyanins or the addition of chromones can also help to improve anthocyanin stability.

 

Moreover, microencapsulation of anthocyanin extract powder has a strong scavenging ability for free radicals in the organism. Thus enhancing the activity of antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase. It can have a beneficial effect on the overall total cellular antioxidant properties. This will greatly improve cell survival.

 

The technological innovation based on this biological property of anthocyanins can largely solve the problem of application in food production. In the microcapsules of anthocyanins, the inner wall of the microcapsules can play a certain protective role. It can effectively improve the chemical stability of anthocyanins in different external environments.

 

Practical applications in the food field

In the food sector, producers often add colours to optimize the colour and organoleptic properties of food. Within the limits of food safety regulations, natural anthocyanin food colours are permitted to be produced and used on a large scale, such as purple sweet potato, blackberry, purple corn, kale, aubergine, grape skin and berry colour, to name a few.

 

In the actual production process, anthocyanin extract powder belongs to the higher safety of natural pigments. It is commonly used in wines, food and beverages, jams, confectionery and all kinds of food. Let the food have a variety of beautiful coats, and in addition, give the food a gorgeous colour. Anthocyanins can also provide a higher order of nutritional value. For example, the addition of anthocyanins in yoghurt not only has a unique flavour but also has a certain health function. Mulberry anthocyanins and blueberry anthocyanins have been used in yoghurt products. This can give the fermented yoghurt a flavour as well as a fruity taste.

 

Safety:

Anthocyanin extract powder is a natural ingredient. It is generally safe. It has no significant side effects. However, individuals may be allergic to anthocyanins, resulting in allergic symptoms. Such as rashes, itching and swelling. Therefore, it is advisable to undergo an allergy test before using anthocyanin-related products. Make sure that the individual has no allergic reaction to it.
