Although blackberries are consumed fresh all over the world, they also are being processed in different food products, e.g., juice, sauce, puree, jams, canned blackberries and drieds, as well as freeze dried blackberries (Tomas et al., 2020).

The blackberry fruit (Rubus spp.) has an attractive color, which ranges from purple red to blue, due to the high content of bioactive compounds, such as anthocyanins.

The freeze drying process is great technique to improve the stability of anthocyanins from fruits and vegetables and to design innovative foodstuff , starting freeze dried blackberry snacks, powders, as colorants and as raw material for other food products (Braga et al., 2019).
