Abstract
Anthocyanins, a type of phenolic compound, are found in plants. They are high-value food and pharmaceutical ingredients with improved health benefits and biological functions. However, there are certain drawbacks to using anthocyanins in the food and pharmaceutical industries, such as low stability and vulnerability to severe environmental conditions such as light, pH, temperature, and oxygen which could have a significant impact on the health-promoting properties. Encapsulation is one of the most preferred processing methods since it helps preserve the health benefits of anthocyanin. Choosing an appropriate strategy entails consideration of processing parameters, equipment availability, and application aims. Electrospun nanofibers were used as a novel platform for anthocyanin encapsulation. Because of their superior properties, they can improve the encapsulation efficiency, bioactivity, and bioaccessibility of anthocyanin. The current review examines the chemical structure of anthocyanin and the principles and advantages of electrospinning as an encapsulating method in depth. Finally, the current limitations and opportunities for advancing electrospinning in food packaging and medicine delivery are explored.
