Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Anthocyanins contribute to the red, blue, purple and black colours of many fruits and vegetables and have long been valued for their colour properties in both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Increasingly, anthocyanins are considered important for human health and have demonstrated bioactivities relating to antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Consumption of anthocyanin-rich foods may also reduce the risk of chronic diseases, such as heart disease and diabetes, and may slow the onset of age-associated neurodegeneration.
The aim of this Special Issue is to compile high-quality manuscripts including original and review articles relating broadly to anthocyanin research and the impact of anthocyanins on human health. Topics may include anthocyanin concentrations and compositions in different beverages such as wine and fruit juices, novel approaches to measure anthocyanins in beverages, changes to anthocyanin structures over time or after consumption, strategies for managing anthocyanin concentration during beverage manufacture, and direct or indirect effects of anthocyanins on human health.
