Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Three new acylated anthocyanins were isolated from Saintpaulia flowers.
- Observation The new anthocyanins were characterized as derivatives of malvidin, peonidin and pelargonidin.
- Observation Malvidin acetylrutinoside glucoside was the dominant pigment in the violet-blue flowers.
- Observation The isolated flavone was identified as apigenin glucuronopyranoside.
- Observation Fresh violet-blue petals and crude extracts showed maxima at 547 and 577 nm and a shoulder near 620 nm.
- Observation The isolated malvidin pigment and its deacylated form had one absorption maximum at 535 nm.
- Observation The violet-blue pigment solution showed two maxima at 547 and 577 nm and a shoulder near 620 nm.
- Mechanism The authors propose that intermolecular copigmentation produces the violet-blue flower color.
