Potential Use of Elderberry (<i>Sambucus nigra</i> L.) as Natural Colorant and Antioxidant in the Food Industry. A Review

The food industry, in response to current consumer demand for natural and functional foods, is constantly evolving and reformulating traditional products formulations. Thus, during the last decades, multiple natural sources have been investigated to replace the need to add synthetic additives. In ad...
