Abstract

Anthocyanins are natural pigments responsible for the red, purple, and blue colors in berries. The stability of anthocyanins can be affected by various factors, such as pH, temperature, and other components. This study investigated the degradation kinetics of anthocyanins in representative berries. Among the most consumed berries in the Korean population, black chokeberry, black mulberry, and blueberry were chosen due to their high anthocyanin contents. The berries contained anthocyanins with different aglycones and sugar moieties as follows: cyanidin-3-galactoside (63%) and cyanidin-3-arabinoside (30%) in black chokeberries, cyanidin-3-glucoside (70%) and cyanidin-3-rutinoside (25%) in black mulberries, and malvidin-3-galactoside (35%), malvidin-3-arabinoside (16%), and delphinidin-3-galactoside (14%) in blueberries. After heating at 100℃ for 60 min, the degradation of anthocyanins was highest in the black chokeberries (62%), followed by blueberries (54%) and black mulberries (50%). Within the same aglycone, glycosylated anthocyanins with glucose had higher retention compared to those with galactose or arabinose. Lightness (LSUP*/SUP) showed a tendency to increase with increasing heating time. Color difference (ΔESUP*/SUP) was lowest in the black mulberries and highest in the blueberries. These results indicate that the thermal stability of anthocyanins was in the following order: black mulberry blueberry black chokeberry.
