Anthocyanins in grapes and grape products
1Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Research Centre, Summerland, British Columbia, Canada.
Abstract:
The types of anthocyanins occurring in grapes, wines, and juices are described and their distribution documented. Recent work on the evaluation of red wine color during storage and aging is reviewed. Molecular interactions between anthocyanins and some of the other red wine molecules are shown to be associated with development of new pigments whose formation explains the subtle color changes and stabilization occurring on aging of red wines. A detailed description of the recovery of anthocyanins from grape pomace and production of natural red colorants is also given.

Oxidation of Phenols to Quinones
o-hydroxy phenols are oxidized to o-quinones and p-hydroxy phenols to p-quinones. Such redox reactions involve the transfer of two electrons and two protons. The reversible redox property is crucial in...
Pigmentation
Melanin occurs in two primary forms: eumelanin that provides black and brown pigment and pheomelanin that provides red color. Dark-skinned individuals produce more melanin than those with pale...
