Anthocyanins, the naturally occurring pigments responsible for most red to blue colours of flowers, fruits and vegetables, have also attracted interest because their potential health effects. With aim contributing major insights into structure-activity relationship (SAR), we evaluated radical scavenging biological activities selected purified anthocyanin samples (PASs) from various anthocyanin-rich plant materials: two (mahaleb cherry blackcurrant) vegetables (black carrot "Sun Black"...
Significance Anthocyanins are flavonoid plant pigments that may be important for coping with environmental stresses, such as high light, drought, and nutrient deprivation. It has been thought anthocyanin biosynthesis arose when land plants evolved approximately 450 million y ago, extant basal groups, liverworts, have reported to “primitive” anthocyanins bound their cell walls. However, here we report the red of liverwort Marchantia not anthocyanins, but rather a unique class...
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is one of the most cultivated vegetable in world and it represents a large source bioactive compounds, including carotenoids polyphenols (phenolic acids flavonoids). However, concentration flavonoids tomato considered sub-optimal, particularly because anthocyanins are not generally present. Therefore, this crop has been object an intense metabolic engineering order to obtain anthocyanin-enriched tomatoes by using either breeding or transgenic strategies. Some...
Anthocyanins with various functions in nature are one of the most important sources colours plants. They based on anthocyanidins or 3-deoxyanthocyanidins having common a C15-skeleton and unique terms how each anthocyanidin is involved network equilibria between different forms exhibiting their own properties including colour. Sphagnorubin C (1) isolated from cell wall peat moss (Sphagnum sp.) was fairly acidic neutral dimethyl sulfoxide characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)...
