Abstract

The co-pigmentation behaviour of RuBisCo proteins (with different concentrations) on peonidin-3-O-p-coumaroylrutinoside-5-O-glucoside (P3C5G, extracted from Rosetta potato's peels) conjugates in isotonic sport drinks (ISD) was examined using multispectral, thermal stability kinetics, and libDock-based molecular docking approaches. The colorant effects of RuBisCo on P3C5G were also studied in spray-dried microencapsulated ISD-models. RuBisCo, especially at a concentration of 10 mg/mL in ISD, showed a co-pigmentation effect on the color of P3C5G, mostly owing to its superior hyperchromicity, pKH-levels, and thermal stability. Results from multispectral approaches also revealed that RuBisCo could noncovalently interact with P3C5G as confirmed by libDock findings, where P3C5G strongly bound with RuBisCo via H-bonding and π-π forces, thereby altering its secondary structure. RuBisCo also preserved color of P3C5G in ISD-powdered models. These detailed results imply that RuBisCo could be utilized in ISD-liquid and powder models that might industrially be applied as potential food colorants in products under different conditions.
