Bioactive Properties of Microencapsulated Anthocyanins from <i>Vaccinium floribundum</i> and <i>Rubus glaucus</i>.

ABSTRACT: Anthocyanins, widely recognized for their antioxidant properties and potential health benefits, are highly susceptible to degradation due to environmental factors such as light, temperature, and pH leading to reduced bioavailability and efficacy. Microencapsulation, which involves entrapment in a matrix to enhance stability and bioavailability. This study aims to investigate the bioactive properties of microencapsulated anthocyanins derived from Vaccinium floribundum (Andean blueberry) and Rubus glaucus (Andean blackberry). The extracts from V. floribundum and R. glaucus were microencapsulated using maltodextrin as the carrier agent due to its film-forming properties and effectiveness in stabilizing sensitive compounds through a spray-drying process. The microca
