nthocyanin from the kokum was extracted as per Nayak and Rastogi (2010) from dry source. Fifty gram of the dry kokum fruit was taken for extraction. The fruits were washed and mixed with 1:10 ratio of acidified water (0.1% hydrochloric acid). The extract was filtered using a muslin cloth. Anthocyanin concentration and total soluble solids in the extract were found to be 168.63 mg/L and 5–6 Brix, respectively. The extract was stored in a cold room at 4–5 °C and drawn as and when required for the experiment within 7 days.
