Extraction of Anthocyanins from Red Amaranth and Their in Vitro Antioxidant Activity
Journal: Advances in Medicine and Engineering Interdisciplinary Research DOI: 10.32629/ameir.v2i1.1742
Abstract
Red amaranth is rich in anthocyanins and has significant antioxidant activity. This paper reviewed the content, extraction methods and antioxidant mechanism of anthocyanins in red amaranth. It was found that red amaranth not only has a good price, but also has a strong scavenging capacity for superoxide free radicals, DPPH free radicals and hydroxyl free radicals, showing potential medical value. However, the current extraction methods and conditions still need to be further studied and optimized to improve the extraction rate and purity of anthocyanins in red amaranth. Therefore, it is suggested that future research should focus on the impact of different extraction methods on extraction efficiency and quality, and further compare the content, cost and quality of anthocyanins in red amaranth with those commonly used today, so as to promote the sustainable development of food industry and drug development.
