Healthy Food Ingredients publishes white paper on anthocyanins in Suntava Purple Corn™

摘要

Healthy Food Ingredients has published a white paper explaining the benefits, measurement and retention of anthocyanins in its Suntava Purple Corn. Anthocyanins are a subclass of flavonoids (polyphenolic compounds found in plants) that have been linked to numerous health benefits. A source of natural food colouring, anthocyanins provide fruits, flowers and plant organs their rich blue, red and purple colourings. Even after processing into foods, significant levels of anthocyanins remain in purple corn-based products. HFI's white paper examines the levels of retained anthocyanins in foods such as tortilla chips, pasta, cereals and snack foods made with Suntava Purple Corn.
