Abstract
Hydroxyphenyl-pyranoanthocyanins (PACNs), derived from anthocyanins (ACNs) reacted with hydroxycinnamic acids, have higher practical application value because of better physicochemical stability than their precursors. However, the slow formation rate restricted their broader applications. In the present study, cyanidin-3-O-glucoside (C3G) was chosen to react with four kinds of hydroxycinnamic acids in a model solution. Changes of color and the production of hydroxyphenyl-PACNs were monitored. The formation of derivatives was time-dependent, and the orange-yellow changing trend was correlated with the formation of PACNs and the consumption of C3G. In addition, high-pressure processing (HPP) as a widely-used non-thermal processing method in the food industry was conducted to investigate its impact on hydroxyphenyl-PACNs formation. The results showed that HPP significantly improves the yield of two types of hydroxyphenyl-PACNs (C3G-4-vinylcatechol and C3G-4-vinylphenol) and the retention of total residual pigments during 56 days of storage. Therefore, HPP contributed to color-protecting and the transformation of hydroxyphenyl-PACNs.
