The blueberry fruit (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) exhibits a high content of bioactive compounds, including anthocyanins, that can be used as pigmenting agents, but they are mixed with sugars, which hinder their utilization. objective was to evaluate the use aqueous two-phase extraction aided by centrifugation separate particularly from fruits, considering reduction for agents in food product. A mixture trisodium citrate (Na3C3H5O(COO)3; Na3Cit) and polyethylene glycol ([HO-(CH2CH2O)n-CH2OH]; poly (ethane-1,2-diol); PEG) molecular weight 4 kDa used. Based on cloud point method, binodal diagram developed. After evaluation several systems composition located tie line, conditions were identified form biphasic phases equal volume. Passive sedimentation 0, 15, 30 min, followed also passive 24 h without centrifugation, evaluated. system 17.73% Na3Cit, 21.33% PEG, min sedimentation, 15 at 2940× g produced an extract concentration soluble phenols (0.353 mg/mL) anthocyanins (0.202 and, likewise, antioxidant activity (910.0 mmol gallic acid equivalents per mL), reduced sugar content, demonstrated have potential pigment beverages reddish tone.
