Ultrasound-assisted extraction enhanced flavonoids and anthocyanins in aronia powder, indicating improved particle size and distribution.

To investigate anthocyanin encapsulation in aronia powder using ultrasound-assisted extraction for quality enhancement.
Utilized ultrasound-assisted extraction under optimal conditions (70 °C, 80 min, 206 W)
Used acidified solvents (citric, malic, ascorbic acids) at low concentrations for extraction
Analyzed the quality of aronia powders post spray drying
Identified key anthocyanins and flavonoids including cyanidin-3-O-galactoside, hyperoside, and rutin
Formulations with malic and citric acids yielded higher bulk density and improved particle characteristics
Achieved smaller and more uniform particle size distribution compared to ascorbic acid formulations

Vidović et al. (2026) studied this question.
