The effects of PSPA extract on the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of anthocyanin-enriched powdered beverages were evaluated, focusing on two factors: the pH of the extract (2.18 and 2.39) and the ratio of anthocyanin extract to sucrose (E/S) (7.14 %, 10.7 %, and 14.3 % v/w). The results showed that the anthocyanin entrapment efficiency ranged from 58.4 % to 82.5 %, with increasing E/S ratio or decreasing pH enhancing the redness (a*), chroma (Ch), total anthocyanin content (TAC), and solubility. However, these conditions also led to less favorable characteristics in moisture content, hygroscopicity, bulk density, and tapped density. Meanwhile, higher total phenolic content (TPC) and antiradical power (ARP) were observed with increased E/S and pH levels. FTIR analysis confirmed that PSPA was incorporated into the sucrose matrix without reacting chemically with the sucrose. We classified the formation of anthocyanin-enriched sucrose powder as co-precipitation based on the high nucleation rate, surface morphology, and other characteristics. Morphological analysis revealed that the anthocyanin-enriched sucrose powder comprised agglomerates with irregular, porous, and rough surfaces. DSC thermogram indicated an endothermic peak around 190 °C, suggesting the anthocyanin-enriched sucrose powder still had crystalline regions, as further supported by X-ray diffraction data.

In conjunction with Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) results, the peaks at 3398 cm⁻¹ for gelatin and 3446 cm⁻¹ for sodium alginate were observed in GSDH-2 and showed a shift. The characteristic peak at 2997 cm⁻¹ for isomaltitol was not present in GSDH-2, but was observed in the spectrum of GSIH-2 and became more prominent. These results suggest successful hydrogel preparation. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) results showed that the hydrogel lost only 13 % at 200°C. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis revealed a three-dimensional network and distinct void structure in the hydrogel, indicating its suitability for practical applications, resistance to volatilization, ability to encapsulate drugs, and ability to swell when in contact with water.

Gliadins, proteins found in wheat gluten, are an interesting and sustainable alternative because they are biodegradable, come from a renewable source and have interesting properties as gas barrier, although some technological properties need to be improved in order to broaden their applications. In this work, gliadin bioresin films were processed with water- and lipid-soluble cocoa extracts at 5 and 10 % respect polymer weight by thermo-compression at 90 and 130 °C in order to study both the effect of the type of extract, their concentrations and the processing temperature on the physical and functional properties of the active systems. Undoubtedly, the main condition that positively affected the properties of the resulting active films was the thermo-compression at 130 °C, since it allowed a better miscibility between the active compounds and the biopolymeric chains of the gliadins, and produced a certain crosslinking between disulphide/sulfhydryl groups and polyphenol-protein bonds that resulted in their water resistance. The reduction of weight loss in water achieved values up to 60 %, while in ethanol 95 %, the improvement in resistance was not significant. The mechanical properties of active gliadin films were also highly affected principally when processed at 130 ºC; the elastic modulus decreased while the elongation at break values increased up to values between 113 % and 150 %. The water vapor permeability was greatly reduced from 4.22 to 2.4 × 10<sup>14</sup> Kg m/m<sup>2</sup> s Pa for active gliadin film containing 10 % lipid soluble cocoa extract.
