Sustainable Use of Anthocyanins as the Functional Ingredients from Purple Sweet Potato

Anthocyanins in Purple Sweet Potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) Varieties

Anthocyanins from purple sweet potatoes can serve as natural colorants due to their high heat and light stability and are commonly used in juices, alcoholic beverages, jams, confectioneries, bread, snacks and noodles. There are several commercially available varieties of purple sweet potatoes, which can vary in storage root size, shape, and color. During the last decade sweet potato cultivars w...

Pressurized liquid extraction and quantification of anthocyanins in purple-fleshed sweet potato genotypes

Analysis of anthocyanins responsible for the purple flesh color is important for breeding programs and development of value-added products. This study aimed to optimize the conditions for anthocyanin extraction from purple-fleshed sweet potatoes (PFSP) using pressurized-liquid extraction (PLE) method and quantify anthocyanins in various genotypes. Freeze-dried powders of PFSP genotypes were ext...

Characterization of Acylated Anthocyanins in Callus Induced From Storage Root of Purple-Fleshed Sweet Potato, Ipomoea batatas L

Four anthocyanins were isolated from a highly pigmented callus induced from the storage root of purple-fleshed sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L) cultivar Ayamurasaki. The anthocyanins were respectively identified as cyanidin 3- $O$ -(2- $O$ -(6- $O$ -( $E$ )-caffeoyl- $\beta$ -D-glucopyranosyl)- $\beta$ -D-glucopyranoside)-5- $O$ - $\beta$ -D-glucopyranoside, cyanidin 3- $O$ -(2- $O$ -(6- $O$ -(...

Effect of Enzyme-assisted Extraction of Anthocyanins from Purple Sweet Potato on Total Soluble Solids and Pigment Yield

Study of Drying Method Types on the Physicochemical Characteristics of Purple-Fleshed Sweet Potato Extract Powder

The purpose of this study was to obtain the best anthocyanin pigment extract powder from 3 types of drying process, vacuum drying, spray drying, and  freeze-drying. The duration and temperature for each type of drying process are 15 h with temperature of 40 oC, 2 h with temperature of 120 oC (inlet) and 60 oC (outlet), 24 h with temperature of -50 o</su...
