1. Introduction
Nowadays, consumers prefer natural food additives against the synthetic ones, including food colourings. Therefore, it is interesting to evaluate their behaviour in different food matrix. Anthocyanins are a natural colouring in the red range that have a high antioxidant capacity, that contributes to beneficial effects in reducing the risk of heart disease, cancer and stroke (Heo et al., 2007, Huang et al., 2013 and Hui et al., 2010). Plums may be good sources of food colourings, due to the high level of anthocyanins and other phenolic compounds (Kim, Chun, Kim, Moon, & Lee, 2003). Previous studies have reported that plums show higher colour levels and stability compared to other plant sources as grape, bilberry, eggplant, strawberry and red raspberry (Hernández-Herrero and Frutos, 2011 and Hernández-Herrero and Frutos, 2014a).
