the wall materials used. Of the wall materials tested in this study, the combination of maltodextrin and
gum Arabic led to the higher efficiency and longest anthocyanin
stability under all conditions evaluated with respect to combination
of maltodextrin and gelatin and maltodextrin alone, thus
provided better protection of the anthocyanin pigments. Formulating
a jelly using encapsulated anthocyanin color at level of 7%
was achieved with acceptable sensory attributes and physicochemical
evaluations. Consequently, this research showed that the
instability problem of anthocyanins, which results in restricted
commercial applications, successfully overcame by encapsulation
technique thus, by protecting the biological properties of them,
adding encapsulated anthocyanin into foods makes them as nutraceutical
foods.
