Abstract
The aim of the present study was to understand to what
extent the inclusion of anthocyanins into dairy and egg
matrices could affect their stability after processing
and their release and solubility during digestion. For
this purpose, individual and total anthocyanin content of
four different enriched matrices, namely custard dessert,
milkshake, pancake and omelettete, was determined after
their manufacturing and during in vitro digestion.
Results showed that anthocyanin recovery after processing
largely varied among matrices, mainly due to the
treatments applied and the interactions developed with
other food components. In terms of digestion, the present
study showed that the inclusion of anthocyanins into food
matrices could be an effective way to protect them
against intestinal degradation, and also the
incorporation of anthocyanins into matrices with
different compositions and structures could represent an
interesting and effective method to control the delivery
of anthocyanins within the different compartments of the
digestive tract.
