Curly protein nanofibril systems for improving thermal stability and copigmentation of hibiscus anthocyanins

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Anthocyanins are attractive natural colorants for clean‐label food applications; however, their widespread use is limited by poor thermal stability. Protein nanofibrils have recently emerged as promising natural stabilizers because of their high surface area and ability to interact with anthocyanins through non‐covalent interactions.
