Blueberry belongs to the Ericaceae family. The fruit is blue in color, hence the name blueberry. Mature blueberry fruit is dark blue
and spherical in shape with a particular sweet and sour taste. During the natural ripening process, fresh fruits have a very short shelf life due to their sensitivity to fungal attack and excessive texture softening.
The aim of the present study was to study the effects of modified starches on the processing properties of heat-resistant blueberry jam. The protection effect of modified starches on anthocyanins in blueberry jam was also investigated.
