Exploring the Integration of Anthocyanins with Functional Materials in Smart Food Packaging: From Stabilization to Application.
Review in Foods (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Anthocyanins, the most ubiquitous water-soluble phytopigments in terrestrial flora, have garnered substantial attention in sustainable food packaging research owing to their exceptional chromatic properties, pH-responsive characteristics, and putative health-promoting effects. Nevertheless, their inherent chemical lability manifests as rapid chromatic fading, structural degradation, and compromised bioactivity/bioavailability, ultimately restricting industrial implementation and incurring significant economic penalties. Recent advances in stabilization technologies through molecular encapsulation within polymeric matrices or nanoscale encapsulation systems have demonstrated remarkable potential for preserving anthocyanin integrity while augmenting multifunctionality. The integration of anthocyanins into advanced functional materials has emerged as a promising strategy for enhancing food safety and extending shelf life through smart packaging solutions. Despite their exceptional chromatic and bioactive properties, anthocyanins face challenges such as chemical instability under environmental stressors, limiting their industrial application. Recent advancements in stabilization technologies, including molecular encapsulation within polymeric matrices and nanoscale systems, have demonstrated significant potential in preserving anthocyanin integrity while enhancing multifunctionality. This review systematically explores the integration of anthocyanins with natural polymers, nanomaterials, and hybrid architectures, focusing on their roles as smart optical sensors, bioactive regulators, and functional components in active and smart packaging systems. Furthermore, the molecular interactions and interfacial phenomena governing anthocyanin stabilization are elucidated. The review also addresses current technological constraints and proposes future directions for scalable, sustainable, and optimized implementations in food preservation.
