Abstract

Black carrot anthocyanins have gained increasing attention as natural coloring agent, owing to their higher stability than anthocyanins from berries. The stability has been attributed to their higher degree of acylation. This study investigated the impact of acylation on the stability of individual anthocyanins during storage in light and darkness. We hypothesized that the acylated anthocyanins would be more stable than the non-acylated ones. The major five anthocyanins were fractioned by semi-preparative HPLC and stored at pH 4.5 in light and darkness to investigate how acylation affected the stability. The stability was evaluated by absorption spectroscopy and mass spectrometry (MS). Two of the anthocyanins were non-acylated; 3-xylosyl(glucosyl)galactoside and cyanidin 3-xylosylgalactoside, and three were acylated; cyanidin 3-xylosyl(sinapolyglucosyl)galacto-side, cyanidin 3-xylosyl(feruloylglu-cosyl)galactoside, and cyanidin 3-xylosyl(coumaroyl-glucosyl)galactoside. Both methods (spectroscopy and MS) showed a clear effect of acylation when stored in light, but surprisingly the two non-acylated anthocyanins, showed higher stability than the three acylated ones.
