Natural water-soluble pigments of blue, purple or red which are dissolved in the cell-sap vacuole of plant cells.

A family of pigments that give flowers, fruits, and leaves of some plants their red or blue coloring. Anthocyanins consist of sugar molecules bound to a benzopyrylium salt (called anthocyanidin). See [..]

Any of a class of water-soluble pigments, including most of those imparting red or blue color to fruits or flowers.

A biological pigment synthesized by plants from malonyl-CoA and p-coumaroyl-CoA. The colors are red, purple, or blue. Linked with one or two sugar molecules to enhance solubility in water, and usually [..]

  Water-soluble blue, purple and red flavonoid pigments found in vacuoles of cells.

One of a class of flavonoid pigments found in many blue, red or purple plants.

A group of Flavonoids derived from Flavonols, which lack the ketone Oxygen at the 4-position. They are glycosylated versions of cyanidin, pelargonidin or delphinidin. The conjugated bonds result in bl [..]
