The heterocycle of anthocyanidins is a pyrilium kation. Anthocyanidins are typically not found as free aglycones, with the excepton of the following widely distributed, colored compounds Pelargonidin (orange-red 1.45), cyanidin (red 1.46), peonidin (rose-red 1.47), delphinidin (blue-violet 1.48), petunidin (blue-purple 1.49), and malvidin (purple 1.50). A convenient mnemonic is PCP-DPM. The most common anthocyanidin is cyanidin. These compounds are present in the vacuoles of colored plant tissues such as leaves or flower petals. The color of the pigment depends on...

Although red-colored fruits and vegetables are the most common sources of dietary lycopene, not all red-colored plants contain lycopene. Common food sources of lycopene are the tomatoes, processed tomato products, watermelons, pink guava, pink grapefruits, papaya, and apricots. The lycopene content of these foods are shown in Table I.

As we begin to unravel the molecular mechanisms of the regulation of anthocyanin biosynthesis, we must remember that evolution and selection had significant opportunities to explore new ways to color plants, flowers, and seeds. Model plant systems such as maize, petunia, and Arabidopsis will continue to provide the framework to understand how pigment accumulation is controlled. However, it is important to investigate how nature has exploited variations in these central prototypes to provide the amazing diversity found today in the type and distribution of anthocyanin pigments. 

Anthocyanins (in Greek, anthos means flower and kyanos means blue) are one of the most important plant pigments visible to the human eye. Anthocyanins are the largest group of colorful plant pigments and are responsible... 

Chromatogra-phy refers to the separation of materials using their relative solubility and absorption differences in two immiscible phaseS/ one stationary and the other mobile. The defining work of Mikhail Tswett in 1903 demonstrated the separation of colored plant pigments on a carbohydrate powder through which hydrocarbon solvents were passed. The same principles apply to the rainbow-like dispersion of colors seen when ink soaks through a shirt pocket.

Although the carotenoids, the highly colored plant pigments, have been of interest to biologists and chemists since the early 1800s, their chemical characteristics as a class were first well defined in the 1920s. A major treatise on carotenoids appeared in 1971 (4) and another recently (5-7).
