Anthocyanins in Purple Sweet Potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) Varieties
نویسندگان
چکیده
Anthocyanins from purple sweet potatoes can serve as natural colorants due to their high heat and light stability and are commonly used in juices, alcoholic beverages, jams, confectioneries, bread, snacks and noodles. There are several commercially available varieties of purple sweet potatoes, which can vary in storage root size, shape, and color. During the last decade sweet potato cultivars with purple flesh were mainly grown in Japan and new varieties with high contents of anthocyanins have been developed due to the low anthocyanin accumulation in indigenous purple-fleshed sweet potatoes. Among them, important cultivars are the 'Yamagawamurasaki' and 'Ayamurasaki' varieties. Chromatographic analyses show a very complex anthocyanin composition. Ten major pigments with non-, monoor diacylated structures of 3-O-(2-O-D-glucopyranosyl-D-glucopyranoside)-5-O-D-glucosides of cyanidin and peonidin were characterized by ESI-MS and NMR analyses. A comparison of different Japanese purple sweet potato cultivars shows a remarkable variation of anthocyanin profile. According to this, they can be categorized into two groups (blue and red dominant) based on the shade of color and the peonidin/cyanidin ratio. By means of the four Japanese cultivars 'Chiran murasaki', 'Tanegashima murasaki', 'Naka murasaki' and 'Purple Sweet' the differences in anthocyanin composition will be discussed in detail. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Cigarette smoke contains around 4000 chemical substances including free radicals and carcinogens, which are xenobiotic agents in the body, affecting the reproductive system. Purple sweet potatoes contain the color pigment anthocyanin. The purple color pigment (anthocyanin) in purple sweet potatoes is a beneficial antioxidant because it can react with free radicals that can cause damage in the b...

Four anthocyanins were isolated from a highly pigmented callus induced from the storage root of purple-fleshed sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L) cultivar Ayamurasaki. The anthocyanins were respectively identified as cyanidin 3- $O$ -(2- $O$ -(6- $O$ -( $E$ )-caffeoyl- $\beta$ -D-glucopyranosyl)- $\beta$ -D-glucopyranoside)-5- $O$ - $\beta$ -D-glucopyranoside, cyanidin 3- $O$ -(2- $O$ -(6- $O$ -(...

Purple-fleshed sweet potato (PFSP) (Ipomoea batatas L. Lam) has been known to possess high amount of anthocyanins which contribute to its antioxidant activity. However, a few reports are available concerning its anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties. In this study, PFSP "Tainung 73," which is locally grown in Taiwan, was steamed and extracted using acidified ethanol pH 3.5 under 80°C. Two...

Many transcriptional factors harboring the R2R3-MYB domain, basic helix-loop-helix domain, or WD40 repeats have been identified in various plant species as regulators of flavonoid biosynthesis in flowers, seeds, and fruits. However, the regulatory elements of flavonoid biosynthesis in underground organs have not yet been elucidated. We isolated the novel MYB genes IbMYB1 and IbMYB2s from purple...
