What will be the color of red cabbage extract in lemon juice?
Red cabbage extract will turn pink in lemon juice.
Here's why:
* Red cabbage contains anthocyanins. These are pigments that change color depending on the pH of their environment.
* Lemon juice is acidic. This means it has a low pH.
* Anthocyanins turn pink in acidic solutions.
So, when you mix red cabbage extract with lemon juice, the acidic environment causes the anthocyanins to change color from purple to pink.
