Abstract
The anthocyanin content of tubers and shoots of the purple potato, Solanum tuberosum cv. Congo has been determined using various chromatographic and s pectroscopic techniques to be petanin and the novel 3-O-[6-(4-ferulyl-O-alp ha-rhamnopyranosyl)-beta-glucopyranosides]-5-O-glucopyranosides of petunidi n and malvidin. Acylated pigments constitute more than 98% of the total ant hocyanin contents both in tubers and shoots.
