    Interactions between lipid oxidation and anthocyanins from black carrots in ω-3 fatty acid-rich flaxseed oil-in-water emulsions
    (2024) Klinger, Evelyn; Salminen, Hanna; Bause, Karola; Weiss, Jochen
    The application of anthocyanins as red colorants in lipid-containing foods such as oil-in-water emulsions is challenging due to their ability to act as antioxidants and their instability under various environmental conditions. In this study, we investigated the kinetics of black carrot anthocyanin degradation and the subsequent color loss influenced by lipid oxidation reactions in 1% ( w/w ) flaxseed oil-in-water emulsions stabilized by 0.1% ( w/w ) sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) at pH 2 upon storage at 35 °C for ten days under light and in the dark. Oxidatively stable Miglyol oil-in-water emulsions and SDS solutions were used as reference. The results showed simultaneous formation of lipid hydroperoxides and degradation of anthocyanins. The addition of anthocyanins decreased lipid hydroperoxide formation, confirming the antioxidant activity of anthocyanins through radical scavenging mechanism. The kinetic modelling of lipid oxidation and anthocyanin degradation are particularly important for estimating color stability in colored emulsion-based food systems such as dairy or non-dairy milk or yoghurt drinks.
