Black wolfberry turns brown after soaking in water

Many people like to put some nutrients in the water when drinking, such as wolfberry, chrysanthemum jujube, hawthorn, etc. Adding these substances to soak in water can not only change the taste of sleep, but also supplement the nutrients needed by the human body. Those who are weak can drink such water frequently to replenish body energy. However, some people will find that black wolfberry turns brown after being soaked in water. What's going on?

There are a lot of anthocyanins in black wolfberry. Anthocyanins will release two colors after meeting water. Blue and blue cannot be brown, so the color of soaked black wolfberry cannot be brown. When the color of the black wolfberries we bought when soaked in water is brown, we can directly determine that the black wolfberries we bought are fake.

Another possibility is that the cup used to soak black wolfberries in water affects their color. We can try another cup to see if it is brown. If it is not brown, it means the black wolfberry we bought is real. If it is still the monkey's description, the black wolfberry we bought is fake.

Black wolfberry turns blue when soaked in alkaline water and turns purple when soaked in acidic water. The different acidity and alkalinity of water will affect the color of the soaked black wolfberry. The anthocyanin activity of black wolfberry is very strong, and its color will change when encountering different water quality and water temperature. Generally speaking, blue, green, purple and purple-red are all normal colors. Do not use boiling water, warm water or cold water.
