This water-soluble compound exhibit vivid color changes based on pH, making them valuable for food, beverage, candy and more, because pH alters anthocyanins' molecular structure, changing light absorption and color. The color degrades under heat, light, or oxygen, while stabilizes by acids (e.g., lemon juice) or antioxidants.
Color Changes
pH Sensitivity: Anthocyanins shift color in response to acidity/ alkalinity:
- Acidic (pH < 7): Bright red/pink (e.g., with vinegar or lemon juice)
- Neutral (pH ≈ 7): Purple
- Alkaline (pH > 7): Blue/green (e.g., with baking soda)
