背景/目的：天然色素的使用可以提高食品的吸引力。本研究确定了Clitoria ternatea花提取物作为合成着色剂的替代品的潜力。方法：研究人员从不同重量的C.三叶草花本研究随机选取50名不同年龄段的吃糖者作为研究对象。受访者通过感官方法评价不同的治疗在味道，质地，颜色，气味，外观和整体适口性使用九点尺度享乐量表。研究人员使用方差分析比较了年龄段。调查结果：结果表明，处理3（30克）的水提取物具有最高的总加权平均值（TAWM）7.78的可接受性水平，具有"非常喜欢"的描述，其次是处理4（40克）的TAWM 6.57，具有"中等喜欢"的描述。相比之下，治疗1（10克）的TAWM最低，为2.97，描述为"中度不喜欢"。高水平的可接受性意味着C。半夏花水提取物改善了软糖的颜色和外观。这项研究进一步表明，按年龄段分组时，受访者的可接受性没有显着差异。研究人员得出结论，30克C. ternatea改善了软糖的颜色和外观。新奇/应用（30）：C.作为着色剂的半夏花水提取物提高了商业软糖的可接受性。使用替代安全的天然着色剂促进健康生活和可持续糖果生产。
Background/Objectives: The utilization of natural colorant can improve food appeal. This study determined the potential of Clitoria ternatea flower extract as a substitute for synthetic colorants. Methods: The researchers prepared gummy candies using 100mL aqueous extracts from various weight samples of C. ternatea flowers. Fifty candy eaters with different age brackets were randomly chosen as respondents of this study. The respondents evaluated through the sensorial method the different treatments in terms of taste, texture, color, smell, appearance, and overall palatability using a nine-point scale hedonic scale. The researchers compared the age brackets using the analysis of variance. Findings: Results showed that aqueous extract of Treatment 3 (30 grams) has the highest total weighted average mean (TAWM) of 7.78 level of acceptability with a “Like Very Much” description, followed by the TAWM of 6.57 of Treatment 4 (40 grams) with “Moderately Like” description. In comparison, Treatment 1 (10 grams) has the lowest TAWM of 2.97 with a description of “Dislike Moderately.” The high level of acceptability implies that C. ternatea flower aqueous extract improves the color and appearance of the gummy candies. This study further shows no significant difference in acceptability among the respondents when grouped into age brackets. The researchers conclude that the aqueous flower extract of 30g C. ternatea improved the color and appearance of the gummy candies. Furthermore, it could be accepted by the candy consuming public of various ages.Novelty/Applications (30): The utilization of C. ternatea flower aqueous extract as a colorant improves the acceptability of commercial gummy candies. The use of alternative safe, natural colorants promotes healthy living and sustainable candy production.
