The food industry is actively investigating the stability of natural red pigments to replace artificial food colorants from all food applications in the near future. In this study, the stability of coloring extracts from chokeberry, grape, hibiscus, and purple sweet potato was investigated in ω-3 fatty acid-rich flaxseed oil-in-water emulsion during storage. The red color of the oil-in-water emulsions faded within 4 days, indicating that the anthocyanin extracts were susceptible to lipid oxidation reactions of the ω-3 fatty acids. The color stability varied between all used extract sources: The chokeberry (degradation constant k = 19.6 h) and grape (k = 15.2 h) extracts showed similar degradation kinetics, whereas purple sweet potato extract (k = 10.7 h) degraded significantly slower, and hibiscus extract (k = 110.2 h) significantly faster. The differences can be explained by the different anthocyanins contained in the plant extract, especially by the proportion of acylated anthocyanins.

To achieve good agricultural practices and maximize the economic yield of corn, farmers should reduce the use of inorganic fertilizers. A field experiment was conducted in the Chonnabot district, Khon Kaen province, Thailand, during the 2022 and 2023 growing seasons. The aim was to assess the impact of different organic fertilizers and their combinations on the growth and yield of commercial sweet corn ( L.

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.

The effects of lactic acid bacteria fermentation and in vitro simulated digestion on phenolic bioavailability, phenolic bioavailability, and antioxidant activity of purple sweet potato juice (PSPJ) were investigated. The PSPJ was fermented by and . The viable bacterial count, phenolic components, antioxidant activity, phenolic bioaccessibility, and phenolic bioavailability of PSPJ were analyzed during the simulated digestion process in vitro.
