Abstract:

Stability of pigment from black sticky rice was studied. Results indicated that the pigment exhibited a good stability in acidic media, while its stability was weak in alkaline media. The pigment exhibited excellent thermal and light stability. Little effect of sugars, salts, citric acid, starch, potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate and metal ions including Mn2+, Na+, K+, Zn2+, Cu2+, Ca2+ and Mg2+ on pigment stability was observed. However, Fe3+ had an obvious adverse effect on the stability of black sticky rice pigment.

Key words: black sticky rice, pigment, stability
