    Anthocyanins are natural water-soluble colourants with a number of reported health benefits and are an excellent alternative to artificial dyes. Anthocyanins from Clitoria ternatea were obtained using ultrasound-assisted extraction with glycerol-water (60:40 w/v). The anthocyanins in the extract were measured at wavelength 550 and 700 nm using a UV-visible spectrophotometer and expressed in terms of total anthocyanins content (TAC). Taguchi method was employed to optimize the extraction parameters that include the extraction time (30 to 50 min), extraction temperature (40 to 60 °C), and solvent to solid ratio (10:1 to 30:1), with TAC as the response. The obtained data showed the optimum extraction parameters as 30 min extraction time, 50 °C extraction temperature, and 10:1 solvent to solid ratio. The anthocyanin's storage stability was analyzed for 7 days at varying storage temperatures and exposure to light. The present dataset in this article indicated the glycerol-water system as a green alternative for anthocyanin extraction and acted as a storage medium. Furthermore, our methodology can be applied to optimize the anthocyanins extraction process, manipulate storage conditions and improve the extract quality.
