RESUMEN
Anthocyanins extracted with deep eutectic solvent (NADES) (chlorine-chloride: xylitol, 5:2) were used to produce polyethylene oxide (PEO) composites through electrospinning technique, analyzing their microscopic and physical characteristics. The coated anthocyanins were then subjected to in vitro gastrointestinal digestion to evaluate their bioaccessibility compared to lyophilized jussara pulp. The remaining total anthocyanin content (TAC) after intestinal in vitro digestion did not change significantly among the assessed samples, and both showed around 30% recovery. The TAC recovery after the gastric phase, on the other hand, showed a major difference (70.84% vs. 48.13%), revealing that the composites fabricated by the electrospinning technique can significantly maintain anthocyanins NADES-extracted stability during the gastric phase of digestion, potentially allowing better absorption trough stomach wall. The results can be considered a first step to applying anthocyanins-encapsulated in foodstuff as a natural pigment.
