B. Ramstad et al., DELPHINIDIN 3-ALPHA-ARABINOPYRANOSIDE AND OTHER ANTHOCYANINS FROM FLOWERS OF RHODODENDRON CV LEMS STORMCLOUD, Journal of Horticultural Science, 70(4), 1995, pp. 637-642
From flowers of Rhododendron cv. Lems Stormcloud, four pigments were i
solated and identified as delphinidin 3-arabinoside (37%), cyanidin 3-
arabinoside (46%), delphinidin 3-galactoside (6%) and cyanidin 3-galac
toside (11%) by means of chromatographic and spectroscopic methods and
chemical degradation. The sugar of the anthocyanin 3-arabinosides wer
e found to be on the pyranoside form, based on shift values assigned b
y heteronuclear NMR experiments.
