Color and Antioxidant Properties of Cyanidin-Based Anthocyanin Pigments
摘要:
A series of cyanidin-based anthocyanin pigments was investigated to determine the effect of structural variation on a number of chemical and physical properties: CIELAB color coordinates, visual detection thresholds, hydration constants (pK(H)), and in vitro antioxidant activities (ORAC). In addition to individual isolated compounds, purified total pigment isolates from blackberry, elderberry, black carrot, red cabbage, and sweet potato were also examined. Acylation with cinnamic acids shifted color tonality (hue angle) to purple, and markedly increased pK(H) and antioxidant activity, but lowered the visual detection threshold. Glycosidic substitution at the 5 position moved tonalities toward purple and decreased pK(H), and tended to lower the ORAC value, but raised the visual detection threshold. Increasing the number of sugar substituents at the 3 position also affected all of these parameters, however, the extent was not predictable. Antioxidant levels of purified anthocyanin extracts were much higher than expected from anthocyanin content indicating synergistic effect of anthocyanin mixtures.

from Scutellaria baicalensis. Sb3GT1 could accept five sugar donors (UDP-Glc/-Gal/-GlcNAc/-Xyl/-Ara) to catalyze 3-O-glycosylation of 17 flavonols, and the conversion rates could be >98%. Five new glycosides were obtained by scaled-up enzymatic catalysis. Molecular modeling and site-directed mutagenesis revealed that G15 and P187 were critical catalytic residues for the donor promiscuity. Sb3GT1 could
synthesized. This is the first report on the enzymatic acylation of anthocyanin from black rice with methyl aromaticesters as acyl donors and lipase as biocatalyst. Furthermore, the acylation with aromatic carboxylic acids enhanced both the thermostability and light resistivity of anthocyanin. In particular, cyanidin 3-(6″-cinnamoyl)-glucoside was the most stable among the three acylated anthocyanins synthesized

The present disclosure relates generally to the identification of enzymes within the Amaryllidaceae alkaloid biosynthetic pathway as well as to engineering transgenic organisms for the production of galanthamine and/or hemanthamine and/or lycorine. Disclosed herein is the isolation and characterization of cDNAs and encoded norbelladine 4'-0-methyltransferase, CYP96T1-3, and norbelladine synthase/reductase involved in the biosynthesis of galanthamine and haemanthamine. The invention relates to a transgenic plant, comprising within its genome, and expressing, a heterologous nucleotide sequence coding for a class I O-methyltransferase, wherein the O-methyltransferase is norbelladine 4'-0-methyltransferase. In one embodiment, the norbelladine 4'-0-methyltransferase is selected from among NpN40MT1, NpN40MT2, NpN40MT3, NpN40MT4, and NpN40MT5. The invention further contemplates a method of making a transgenic plant.
