“…Pectin also enhances the anthocyanin pigment stability and extends pigment half-life in a model fruit jam system (Buchweitz, Speth, Kammerer, & Carle, 2013a;Holzwarth, Korhummel, Siekmann, Carle, & Kammerer, 2013;Kopjar et al, 2009). Cell wall composites containing pectin bind anthocyanins and have low pigment release in simulated gastric and intestinal fluids (Padayachee et al, 2012(Padayachee et al, , 2013. The mechanism for anthocyanin and pectin interaction is not known, but non-covalent chemical interaction, most likely ionic interaction, are likely (Asen et al, 1970;Buchweitz, Nagel, et al, 2012;Holzwarth et al, 2013;Padayachee et al, 2012).…”
