Abstract

The mangosteen pericarp contains unstable non-acylated ACNs, rendering it prone to degradation. Therefore, intermolecular copigmentation of semi-purified ACNs (SPA) with tartaric acid (SPA-TA), sinapic acid (SPA-SA), catechin (SPA-CE), and sucrose (SPA-SU) in 1:5 and 1:10 M ratios were used to increase their stability during storage for 77 days at 25 ± 1 °C in pH 3 buffer solution. The SPA-TA1:5 complex showed the significant highest stability of total monomeric ACN content (TMAC) with a half-life (t1/2) = 56.9 days, cyanidin-3-O-sophoroside (C3S) with t1/2 = 48.1 days and color retention (69.80 %) compare to SPA with TMAC (t1/2 = 37.4), C3S (t1/2 = 13.3) and color retention (57.2 %) after 49 days (p
