Investigation of Optimal Extraction Conditions and Microencapsulation Technique for Stabilizing Anthocyanins and Polyphenols from Fruit Materials

Creator:

Wang, Wenjie

Abstract:

The objectives of this research were to investigate the optimal conditions for anthocyanins extraction from different anthocyanin rich fruit and to develop microencapsulation formulation for improving stability of anthocyanin extracts. In the extraction optimization study, two extraction methods, "conventional solvent extraction (CE)" and "ultrasound-assisted extraction (UE)" for three different anthocyanin-rich...
