 The Substance That Gives Purple Foods Their Color: Anthocyanin


Anthocyanin is a colorant found in various parts of plants and it can dissolve in water.


 In addition to its coloring feature, it has antioxidant and antibacterial functions, and also contributes to pollination. We can say that consuming anthocyanin-containing foods has some benefits such as regulation of microbiota, prevention of obesity, and protection against cancer.

Without being exposed to high levels of temperature, high quality extracts can be obtained from fruits and vegetables high in anthocyanin through advanced techniques.

Not only fruits and vegetables, but wheat varieties with also purple, red, blue and black grains have been developed. Thus, for cereal products, it is possible to add a functional feature to snacks, such as biscuits, that are especially in high demand.
