Title : Feasibility Study of ClitoriaternateaFloweras Anthocyanin Source for Daily Food

Abstract :

Anthocyanin (Acn) is one of the secondary metabolites of Clitoria ternatea flower (Ctf) with many health maintenance and therapeutic benefits. Acn acts as anti-inflammation and anti-proliferative of breast cancer cells in vivo. Ct blooms daily for just one day. We carried out this study to analyze the feasibility of Ctf as the acn resource beside the famous blackberry. Its maceration in 70% ethanol divided into two groups according to the temperature of evaporation, which are 40oC and 60oC, respectively. We measured the total acn contents (TAC) with the spectrophotometer at 230-1000 nm wavelength. The average of TAC in each group was 73.15 + 8.66 mg and 46.07+1.54 mg/100 g, respectively. The data showed that anthocyanins better produced at a lower temperature, with less energy consumption. The main peaks in the 1stgroup profile were at 230, 268, 578, and 625 nm, while in the other, they were at 230, 267, 568, and 622 nm. The profiles show considerable absorbance values of their anthocyanins with health benefits such as blackberry. Ctf is a potential source of anthocyanins for our daily food
