We evaluated the absorbability of anthocyanins in humans and rats administered with a beverage prepared from an extract of the tuber of purple sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas Cultivar Ayamurasaki), or with an anthocyanin concentrate. Two major anthocyanin components, cyanidin 3-O-(2-O-(6-O-(E)-caffeoyl-beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-beta-D-glucopyranoside)-5-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside) and peonidin 3-O-(2-O-(6-O-(E)-caffeoyl-beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-beta-D-glucopyranoside)-5-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside), were detected in the plasma and urine of both rats and humans by HPLC or liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS). The plasma concentration of anthocyanins in humans reached a maximum 90 minutes after ingestion, and the recovery of anthocyanins in the urine was estimated as 0.01-0.03%. These results indicate that acylated anthocyanins could be selectively absorbed after ingesting food.

Glycosylation modification of anthocyanins is important as a preceding step to acylation modification. Cyanidin-3-O-(p-coumaroyl)glucoside-5-O-malonylglucoside (Cy3pCG5MaG) is one of the major anthocyanin substances in blue-flowered grape hyacinth, but its 5-position glycosylation is unknown. Here, we identified two glycoside hydrolase family 1 genes, MaAGGT1 and MaAGGT5, which use acyl-glucose as a donor and are involved in the glycosylation modification of anthocyanins in grape hyacinth.

Anthocyanins (ANS) are an appealing substitute to synthetic colorants; but their practical applicability is limited due to low color stability. Copigmentation can improve both complex's color stability as well as intensity. In this study, we examined the interaction of red cabbage ANS with copigments i.

Article Synopsis
  • A study was conducted on four common seedless grape varieties in China—Kyoho, Summer Black, Moldovan, and Sweet Sapphire—to compare their sensory properties and overall quality against commercially available Concord juice.
  • Kyoho and Sweet Sapphire had optimal Brix-acid ratios, while Kyoho also showed the highest aroma intensity with floral and fruity notes compared to Sweet Sapphire's grassy scent.
  • Concord juice emerged as the best option for color and aroma, with recommendations for blending Summer Black with Kyoho to enhance the overall quality of grape juice.

To identify wine grape cultivars () with superior color properties for wine production, the anthocyanin composition and color characteristics of fourteen cultivars and their wines were investigated. Grapes and wines from 'Dornfelder', 'Dunkelfelder', and 'Malbec' cultivars exhibited significantly higher total phenolic contents. At harvest, 'Dornfelder' grapes and wines exhibited the highest total anthocyanin contents, with values of 249.
