Gr. Takeoka et al., CHARACTERIZATION OF BLACK BEAN (PHASEOLUS-VULGARIS L.) ANTHOCYANINS, Journal of agricultural and food chemistry, 45(9), 1997, pp. 3395-3400
Three anthocyanins were isolated from the acidified methanol extracts
of UI 911 black beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) using solid phase extrac
tion and preparative high-performance liquid chromatography. The antho
cyanins were characterized using chromatographic and spectroscopic met
hods as delphinidin 3-glucoside (56%), petunidin 3-glucoside (26%), an
d malvidin 3-glucoside (18%). The monomeric anthocyanin content was 21
3 +/- 2 mg/100g of black beans (moisture content was 10.04 +/- 0.02%).
