technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of extraction of effective plant components, and relates to a method for extracting anthocyanin from fruit epidermis. Background technique
[0002] The color of the peel is the core indicator of the fruit appearance quality, and it is also an important factor affecting its commodity value. Studies have shown that fruit color is mainly determined by the content and ratio of chlorophyll, carotenoids and phenolic pigments. Fruit coloring is the result of the degradation of chlorophyll in fruit cells and the simultaneous formation and appearance of carotenoids or synthetic anthocyanins. Anthocyanin is the main component of red and purple-red peel color. It is easily soluble in strong polar solvents such as water, methanol, and ethanol. It can maintain the original color under acidic conditions. When the pH changes from low to high, the anthocyanin solution It shows a change from red to colorless to blue, and under high ...
