Description
Summary:Improving anthocyanin stability is a major challenge for the food industry. Studies have revealed that the interaction with pectin through non-covalent bonds can improve the anthocyanin stability, thus showing the potential to alleviate the above challenges. However, the interactions are highly complex and diverse. Thus, analyzing the effect of this interaction on anthocyanin stability is essential to promote anthocyanin-pectin complexes application in functional foods. Pectin can interact with anthocyanins through covalent and non-covalent interactions, and these interactions are affected by their structure, the external environment, and the processing methods. Through their interaction with pectin, the thermal, color, and storage stability of anthocyanins are improved, enhancing their bioavailability in the gastrointestinal and facilitating their application range in food processing. This review provides a theoretical reference for improving anthocyanin stability and increasing the application range of anthocyanin-pectin complexes.
