This study explored the potential of purple potato anthocyanins (PPAs) in regulating the digestive properties of starches of various crystalline types. In vitro digestion experiments indicated that PPAs inhibit the hydrolysis of rice starch (A-type) better than that of garden pea starch (C-type) and potato starch (B-type). Further structural assessment of different PPA-starch systems showed that PPAs and starch likely interact through non-covalent bonds, resulting in structural changes. Microstructural changes observed in the starches were consistent with the in vitro digestion results, and the chain length and proportions of short/long chains in amylopectin molecules affected the binding strengths and interaction modes between PPAs and starch. Hence, the three starches differed in their PPA loading efficiency and digestibility. These discoveries contribute to a deeper understanding of the mechanisms underlying the inhibition of starch digestibility by PPAs. They can aid the formulation of value-added products and low-glycemic-index foods.

This study proposes the use of lyophilized powder of purple-fleshed sweet potato (LP) as a new multifunctional ingredient to improve the identity and quality parameters of stirred yogurts. The physical and chemical properties, color, monomeric anthocyanin content, lactic acid bacteria viability, water retention capacity, microstructure, and texture were evaluated for yogurts enriched with LP at the levels of 2% (YLP2), 4% (YLP4), and 6% (YPL6), stored for 30 days under refrigeration (4 °C). The results indicated that LP provided different intensities and shades of pink coloration to yogurt, in addition to increasing ( < 0.

Maejo 341 Sweet potato (MSP) is a new purple sweet potato variety cultivated in Northern Thailand, but its health benefits are unknown. This study aimed to investigate its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-osteoporotic activities, as well as its anthocyanin content. The peel and flesh of MSP were extracted with ethanol and water.

The effects of sugar boiling pretreatment (SBP) with different maltitol concentrations (20 %, 30 %, and 40 %) and boiling time (0 - 6 min) on the physicochemical and functional properties of purple sweet potato flour and the radiofrequency explosion puffing (RFEP) quality were investigated. The results showed that the volume ratio, crispness, anthocyanin retention rate and overall acceptability of the samples were maximized after boiling for 6 min at 40 % maltitol concentration achieving increases of 78.63 %, 437.
