Overview

Microencapsulation of butterfly pea flower extract improved colorant properties, suggesting maltodextrin as a better carrier agent.

Key Points

  • The microencapsulated powders exhibited varying intensities of blue color, demonstrating their potential as natural colorants.
  • Using 100% maltodextrin led to lower hygroscopicity and higher polyphenol concentration in the colorants.
  • Gum arabic did not enhance polyphenol concentration, indicating alternatives in carrier agents may be more effective.
  • The findings support the industrial application of these powders in enriching foods and beverages with natural colorants.
