Abstract: Thermal degradation kinetics of anthocyanin and its visual colour in mulberry puree during heat processing was investigated and a relationship between visual colour and anthocyanin was established. Results showed that the breakdown of anthocyanin followed a first-order reaction,L*,a*and TCD*values followed a combined kinetics model. The degradation of anthocyanins showed positive correlation with L*,a*and TCD*values and negative correlation with b*value.
