The anthocyanin-flavone C-glycoside, (malvidin 3-O-(6(II)-O-alpha-rhamnopyranosyl(AIV)-beta-glucopyranoside(AII))-5-O-beta-glucopyranoside(AIII)) (apigenin 6-C-(2(II)-O-beta-glucopyranosyl(FIII)-beta-glucopyranoside(FII))) malonate(AV) (A(IV)-4-->A(V)-1, F(III)-6-->A(V)-3) (1), has been isolated from leaves of Oxalis triangularis A. St.-Hil. In the 1D (1)H NMR spectrum of 1 dissolved in CD(3)OD-CF(3)CO(2)D (95:5), MTFA, recorded 45 min after sample preparation, this covalently linked dimer occurred mainly as flavylium cation (38%) and two equilibrium forms assigned to be quinonoidal bases (54%), whereas only minor amounts of the hemiacetal forms were present. After five days storage at 300 K, the hemiacetals (39%) and flavylium cation (38%) constituted the main forms of 1. More simple anthocyanins are normally considered to be on the flavylium cation form in acidified deuterated methanol. The cross-peaks observed in NOESY NMR spectra of 1 indicated the presence of vertical 'pi-pi' stacking between the B-ring of the flavone unit and the A-ring of each of the two forms assigned to be quinonoidal bases. It was not possible to discriminate between inter- or intramolecular association mechanisms. The equilibria between the various forms of 1 were studied by two-dimensional NOESY and ROESY NMR spectroscopy. 2D HSQC-TOCSY NMR spectroscopy was among the methods used for characterization of the various forms.

In this work, the thermodynamics and kinetics of the reversible and irreversible processes of cyanidin 3,5--diglucoside and cyanidin 3--(2--glucosyl, 6--sinapoyl)glucoside-2--glucoside, 5--glucoside were studied by covering all pH range (holistic approach). The acylation (i) decreases the mole fraction of the colorless hemiketal in acidic medium and increases that of the colored quinoidal base, (ii) expands the pH domain of the flavylium cation, and (iii) moderately decreases the rate of tautomerization and isomerization of the neutral and monoanionic species. Degradation of cyanidin-3,5--diglucoside in a basic medium occurs in two distinct stages.

In a recent Communication in this journal, Bandyopadhyay and co-workers proposed a rational design of chalcone photoswitches that are claimed to convert into the respective flavylium cations upon irradiation with blue, green, and red light in aqueous media. Here we argue that the reported improvements on the optical/photochemical properties of the new chalcone photoswitches are not substantiated and that the proposed design and data interpretation rely on assumptions that have yet to be validated. We also identify a series of control experiments that can be performed to verify the hypotheses and better support the conclusions presented by the authors.

Anthocyanins are polyphenolic compounds that provide pigmentation in plants as reflected by pH-dependent structural transformations between the red flavylium cation, purple quinonoidal base, blue quinonoidal anion, colourless hemiketal, and pale yellow chalcone species. Thermodynamically stable conditions of hydrated plant cell vacuoles in vivo correspond to the colourless hemiketal, yet anthocyanin colour expression appears in an important variety of hues within plant organs such as flowers and fruit. Moreover, anthocyanin colour from grape berries is significant in red winemaking processes as it plays a crucial role in determining red wine quality.

The kinetics, thermodynamics, and degradation of malvidin mono- and diglucosides were studied following a holistic approach by extending to the basic medium. In acidic conditions, the reversible kinetics of the flavylium cation toward the equilibrium is controlled by the hydration and - isomerization steps, while in the basic medium, the OH nucleophilic addition to the anionic quinoidal bases is the slowest step. There is a pH range (transition pHs), between the acidic and basic paradigms, that includes physiological pH (7.

Biogenic amines (BAs) are biologically active nitrogen-containing compounds formed during the food spoilage process and are often related as key markers of food quality, safety, and freshness. Because their presence in foods at high levels can cause significant health problems, researchers have been focused on developing novel strategies and methods for early detection and capture of these analytes. Herein, water-soluble sulfonated calix[]arene macrocycles (SC4, SC6, and SC8) and a pH-sensitive dye (4'-hydroxy-10-methylpyranoflavylium) were investigated as host-guest systems for BA sensing.
