The present invention relates to the technical field of food science and engineering, and specifically to a method for improving the stability of anthocyanins. In the method, a starch and an anthocyanin are mixed in an aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid, treated at a certain high hydrostatic pressure condition to enable the starch to be gelatinized and to interact with the anthocyanin, and then stored at a certain temperature, so that interaction between the anthocyanin and the starch is further enhanced to form a complex. The method can improve the stability of anthocyanins, which helps to improve the quality of products and extend the shelf life of products.

The present invention provides a stabilizer for pyrroloquinoline quinone and/or a salt thereof, wherein the stabilizer comprises one or more sweetening components as active ingredients selected from the group consisting of erythritol, acesulfame potassium, and a reduced starch syrup.

Methods of making coated pet food kibble and the kibble product by coating kibble with a composition that include at least one of: (i) lecithin and chicken fat; (ii) lecithin, a glycerol monoester of a fatty acid, a sugar monoester of a fatty acid, and chicken fat; (iii) lecithin, N.sup.α—(C.sub.8-C.sub.18) acyl arginine alkyl (C.sub.1-C.sub.8) ester, and chicken fat; or (iv) N.sup.α—(C.sub.8-C.sub.18) acyl arginine alkyl (C.sub.1-C.sub.8) ester-thymol and chicken fat. When the pet food kibble coated with a composition as described above, exhibits amounts of Salmonella sp. that are reduced by about 99%. This reduction is effective for at least 60 days post coating when compared to pet food kibble coated with a composition lacking one of (i)-(iv). The compositions are also used in a method for treating raw beef or poultry prior to grinding where the ground meat exhibits amounts of Salmonella sp. that are reduced by about 99%.
