Exploring the Integration of Anthocyanins with Functional Materials in Smart Food Packaging: From Stabilizationto Application

Anthocyanins, the most ubiquitous water-soluble phytopigments in terrestrial flora, have garnered substantial attention in sustainable food packaging research owing to their excep- tional chromatic properties, pH-responsive characteristics, and putative health-promoting effects. Nevertheless, their inherent chemical lability manifests as rapid chromatic fading, structural degradation, and compromised bioactivity/bioavailability, ultimately restrict- ing industrial implementation and incurring...
