Anthocyanins
Anthocyanins often occur as a complex mixture. Grape extracts
can have glucosides, acetyl glucosides, and coumaryl glucosides
of delphinidin, cyanidin, petunidin, peonidin, and malvidin. The
color of anthocyanins is pH dependent. An anthocyanin is usu-
ally red at a pH of 3.5, becoming colorless and then shifting
to blue as the pH increases. Fruit anthocyanin content increases
with maturity. In stone fruits (peaches and plums) and pome
fruits (apple and pears), anthocyanins are restricted to the skin,
whereas in soft fruits (berries), they are present both in skin and
flesh. Anthocyanins are used as coloring agents for beverages
and other food products.
Flavans
Flavans are what was once called catechins, leucoanthocyanins,
proanthocyanins, and tannins. They occur as monoflavans, bi-
flavans, and triflavans. Monoflavans are found in ripe fruits and
fresh leaves. Biflavans and triflavans are found in fruits such as
apples, blackberries, blackcurrants, cranberries, grapes, peaches,
and strawberries (Table 28.6).
