Development of a crocetin–glycyrrhizic acid supramolecular composite pigment for enhancing meat color and reducing contaminant formation during heat processin
A supramolecular pigment (Croc-Na2GA) was developed by the self-assembly of crocetin and disodium glycyrrhizinate using resonant acoustic mixing (RAM) technology for meat-coloring applications. The resulting complex formed stable nanomicelles (197.30 nm) that exhibited enhanced solubility and robust stability across pH...
