Petunidin (Pt) is an O-methylated anthocyanidin. It is a natural organic compound and a particular type of anthocyanidin. It is a dark-red or purple water-soluble pigment found in many redberries including chokeberries (Aronia sp), Saskatoon berries (Amelanchier alnifolia) or different species of grape (for instance Vitis vinifera, or muscadine, Vitis rotundifolia), and also part of the pigments responsible for the petal colors in many flowers. The name of the molecule itself is derived from the word Petunia.
Biosynthesis
Petunidin could form in the exocarp of fruits from delphinidin, with an anthocyanin flavonoid O-methyltransferase (Catechol-O-methyl transferase) catalyzing the B-ring methylation and S-Adenosyl-L-methyl-3H methionine being the methyl group donor.
Glycosides
Glycoside forms of petunidin are present in grape[1]. These include :
- petunidine 3-glucoside
- Petunidin-3-O-(6-p-coumaroyl) glucoside
- Petunidin-3-O-(6-p-acetyl) glucoside
- Petunidin-3-O-Galactoside
- Petunidin-3-Rutinoside
Uses
Petunidin is referred as E165f, E163 and following numbers corresponding to anthocyanins in the food coloring E number list.
