Perspectives
There are several interesting facts in this research. First, we found that the butterfly pea flower extract was very stable at the refrigerator. Therefore, it could be used as a colourant in the chilled food and beverage. Second, we found that the colour stability of butterfly pea flower extract at 45oC was higher than at 30oC.
