This work aimed at optimizing the extraction of total phenolic (TP) and total monomeric anthocyanin (TMA) content for the development of a potentially functional wild blueberry smoothie (BP) with apple puree (AP), apple juice (AJ) and sea buckthorn puree (SBJ) in various proportions using conventional extraction (CE) and advanced extraction techniques [ultrasound-assisted (UAE)]. There were also analyzed the rheological behavior and the color attributes (lightness and redness respectively) of smoothie samples. S7 smoothie sample [30 AP/30 AJ/20 SBJ/20 BP (UAE)] provided a beverage with significant higher amount (21.40%) of anthocyanins (TMA) compared to sample S10 [30 AP/30 AJ/20 SBJ/20 BP (CE)] in which the extraction of anthocyanins was by the classical method. Further, different color attributes, particularly brightness (L *), redness (a *) and yellow (b *) decreased considerably for the samples with 15 and 20% addition of blueberry puree. Therefore, ultrasound-assisted extraction had a significant effect on the amount of anthocyanins extracted, compared to the classical extraction method.
