Abstract:Anthocyanins are water‐soluble, polyphenolic compounds responsible for coloration in fruits and vegetables, and are known to display antioxidant, anti‐carcinogenic and prebiotic properties in human subjects. This study was conducted to analyze the chemical degradation of anthocyanins in Red Norland potatoes based on colorimetric, spectrophotometric and mass spectrometry analysis. Tuber color and anthocyanin chemistry of fresh and stored (at 4ºC for 90 days) tubers were measured. Anthocyanins were also extracte… Show more
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.
