    Abstract
    The degradation of anthocyanins by food additives like SO2 and ascorbic acid limits their use as natural food colorants. The rare 3-deoxyanthocyanins from sorghum are relatively stable compared to other anthocyanins, but have not been investigated. The stability of 3-deoxyanthocyanin standards, red cabbage pigment, grape blue powder and crude sorghum pigment extract against SO2, ascorbic acid bleaching and high temperature treatment (121.1⁰C for 15 min) at pH 2.0, 3.0, 3.2 and 5.0 was measured in the presence (50:1 molar ratio) or absence of pyruvic acid. Samples were incubated at 37⁰C for 5 days to synthesize the pyruvic acid adducts, and their sulfite and ascorbic acid bleaching resistance investigated at 60 ppm and 500 ppm respectively, using a Shimadzu UV-1650PC spectrophotometer for 21 days. HPLC-DAD/MS analysis confirmed the formation of the 3-deoxyanthocyanin-pyruvic acid adducts at approximately 11 - 47% conversion. Samples without pyruvic acid were the controls. Sulfite and ascorbic acid are co-pigments with 3-deoxyanthocyanin pigments in absence of pyruvic acid at pH 2.0 and 5.0, respectively. Pyruvic acid had marginal protective influence on the stability of the pigments against sulfite and ascorbic acid degradation but not heat. Crude black sorghum extract was the most stable to SO2 and ascorbic acid bleaching. High temperature initiated production of new 3-deoxyanthocyanin-pyruvic acid adducts.
