Plant Anthocyanidin Detection

Anthocyanidin, a water-soluble pigment, is an important subclass of the polymethine dyes and flavonoids. Anthocyanin is commonly found in red, purple, and blue-colored flowers and fruits of many plants. Berries, currants, grapes, and some tropical fruits have high anthocyanins content. Red to purplish blue-colored leafy vegetables, grains, roots, and tubers also contain a high level of anthocyanins. The most common anthocyanidins distributed in the plants include cyanidin, delphinidin, pelargonidin, peonidin, malvidin, and petunidin. The color of these pigments is influenced by pH, light, temperature, and structure. In acidic condition, anthocyanidins appear as red but turn blue when the pH increases. Besides the traditional use of anthocyanidins as natural food colorants, these colored pigments are potential nutraceutical and pharmaceutical ingredients due to their potent antioxidative and antimicrobial activities, and ability to protect against various non-communicable diseases.

STEMart is able to efficiently and accurately detect the content and changes of anthocyanidin in plant samples based on HPLC and LC-MS platform.
