Spectral Characteristic, Storage Stability and Antioxidant Properties of Anthocyanin Extracts from Flowers of Butterfly Pea (<i>Clitoria ternatea</i> L.)

Anthocyanins from flowers of the butterfly pea (<i>Clitoria ternatea</i> L.) are promising edible blue food colorants. Food processing often faces extreme pHs and temperatures, which greatly affects the color and nutritional values of anthocyanins. This study explored the color, spectra,...
