Anthocyanins are prone to degradation and color fading after sterilization. This work examined the potential of wheat protein hydrolysates (WPHs, 40 g/L) in improving the stability of purple sweet potato anthocyanins (PSPAs) under a pH of 6.8 after sterilization at 121 °:C followed by storage. Results showed that WPHs increased the thermal degradation half-life of PSPAs 1.65 times after sterilization. Compared to PSPAs alone, after being stored at 37 °:C and 45 °:C for 7 days, the retention concentration of PSPAs with WPHs was 5.4 and 32.2 times higher, and the color change of PSPAs with WPHs decreased from 6.19 and 10.46 to 0.29 and 0.77, respectively. AFM data, fluorescence and UV spectrograms indicated the formation of complexes between PSPAs and WPHs by hydrophobic attraction confirmed by zeta-potential data. PSPAs with WPHs had stable particle size and zeta potential, which may also significantly increase the concentrations after digestion and antioxidant power of PSPAs. This work indicated that the assembled PSPAs composite structure by WPHs significantly reduced the degradation of PSPAs at a pH of 6.8 after sterilization at 121 °:C followed by long-term storage.
