Functional properties and structural changes of rice proteins with anthocyanins complexation

This study investigated the functional properties and structural changes associated with the complexation of rice protein (RP) with anthocyanins (ACN). Furthermore, fractions (i.e., albumin, globulin, prolamin and glutelin) isolated from RP complexed with anthocyanins were examined. The interactions with ACN altered the structure of RP, leading to an increase in the β-sheet and spectral shift of the amide Ⅱ band. Additionally, fluorescence...
