Copigmentation effects of aspartic acid, proline and valine on individual anthocyanins in strawberry juice (SJ) were investigated during heating at 90, 105 and 150 degrees C. Aspartic acid increased (4.5-45.6%) total anthocyanin stability at all temperatures, while proline and valine had no effect at 90 degrees C but reduced (2.2-19.4%) stability at 150 degrees C. At 90 degrees C, aspartic acid and valine caused the highest A(max) . Evaluating changes in individual anthocyanin contents, A(max), colour density and polymeric colour of SJs together revealed that aspartic acid had copigmentation effects on pelargonidin-3-glucoside and pelargonidin-3-rutinoside, whereas valine on pelargonidin-3-glucoside and cyanidin-3-glucoside. At 105 degrees C, all amino acids increased (7.9-33.1%) stabilities of pelargonidin-3-glucoside, pelargonidin-3-rutinoside, A(max) and colour density all of which together pointed out the copigmentation. At 150 degrees C, interactions between "aspartic acid-pelargonidin-3-glucoside," "proline-pelargonidin-3-rutinoside" and "valine-pelargonidin-3-rutinoside" resulted in high colour density. Thus, among these amino acids, selection should be based on the heating temperature and anthocyanin profile of the product.
