Abstract (EN):
A new pyranoanthocyanin-vinylphenol pigment was detected in an aged Port red wine. The UV-Vis spectrum of this pigment was found to have a lambda(max) of 538 nm that is bathochromically shifted from that of original anthocyanins, exhibiting a more purple hue in acidic solution. This newly formed pigment was synthesized in model solution through the reaction between malvidin 3-O-glucoside-pyruvic acid adduct and vinylphenol and its structure was assigned by NMR and mass spectrometry. This pigment is reported herein for the first time.
