Danışman G., Arslan E., Toklucu A.K. (2015): Kinetic analysis of anthocyanin degradation and polymeric colour formation in grape juice during heating. Czech J. Food Sci., 33: 103-108.The degradation of total monomeric anthocyanins and changes in the proportion of polymeric colour (% PC) as well as antioxidant capacity of grape juice were studied during heating at 70-90°C. Anthocyanin degradation fitted to a first order reaction model, while the formation of % PC followed zero order reaction kinetics. High correlations (r = 0.989-0.997) were found between anthocyanin degradation and % PC formation during heating. The activation energies for the degradation of anthocyanins and formation of % PC were 64.89 and 50.42 kJ/mol, respectively. Trolox equivalents antioxidant capacity (TEAC) values of grape juice slightly changed during heating.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
