Graduate Program in The Ohio State University Nutrition Program The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Mark L. Failla, Advisor Dr. M. Mónica Giusti, Co-Advisor Dr. Purnima S. Kumar Dr. Steven J. Schwartz © Copyrighted by Kom Kamonpatana 2012 All rights reserved ABSTRACT Anthocyanins (ACN), natural pigment flavonoids, exhibit chemopreventive, chemotherapeutic, and anti-inflammatory activities in the oral cavity. ACN have recently been included into products for the promotion of oral health. However, it is unclear which ACN-rich foods could be most efficacious. Since fruits and vegetables contain unique mixtures of ACNs, an understanding of effect of ACN structure on metabolism, bioavailability, and bioactivity is needed for providing sound dietary recommendations and development of products containing ACN for promotion of oral health. ACN extracts from blueberry, chokeberry, black raspberry, red grape, and strawberry were incubated ex vivo for 60 min in human saliva (Chapter 2). Degradation of chokeberry ACN was primarily enzymatic and mediated by bacteria. Glycosides of delphinidin (Dp) and petunidin (Pt) were more susceptible to chemical degradation than those of cyanidin (Cy), pelargonidin (Pg), peonidin (Pn) and malvidin (Mv) in both intact and artificial saliva. Stability of di- and tri-saccharide conjugates of anthocyanidins was slightly greater than that of mono-saccharide derivatives. The ex vivo degradation was significantly decreased in saliva obtained after volunteers rinsed their mouths with anti- bacterial chlorhexidine. I next examined whether the ex vivo finds could be recapitulated in vivo by having subject retain for 5 minutes either chokeberry or red grape juice in their mouths (Chapter 3). Retained juice, oral washings and buccal scrapings were collected and analyzed for stability of ACN in the oral cavity, binding to buccal mucus and uptake into buccal cells. Cy-3-glucoside preferentially accumulated with the buccal cells compared to other Cy glycosides. Anti-bacterial treatment resulted in greater stability of ACN in retained juice. ii Loss of Dp glucosides exceeded that of Pt, Cy, Pn and Mv glucosides during oral retention of red grape juice. Lesser relative amounts of Dp and Pt glucosides were associated with mucus and buccal cells than Cy, Pn and Mv glucosides, suggesting their instability and limited accessibility to the oral epithelium. I investigated inhibitory activity of ACN mixtures on pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion by oral epithelial cells. ACN extracts from black raspberry, blueberry, chokeberry, red grape, strawberry, and hibiscus were incubated with cells prior to, simultaneously or after addition of IL-1β followed by measurement of IL-8 secretion (Chapter 4). Chokeberry extract reduced IL-1β induced IL-8 secretion by SCC-25 in a dose response manner. The efficacy of inhibitory activity depended on both the ACN composition of the extract (Pg-rich (strawberry) > five anthocyanidins (red grape) > Cy- rich (chokeberry and black raspberry) ≈ Cy-Dp disaccharide (hibiscus) extracts) and the type of cell (effect on SCC-25 cancer cells > OKF-6/TERT-2 non-cancer cells). Pre- conditioning medium, by incubating with extracts for 24 h to allow degradation of approximately 90% of ACN, minimally affected inhibitory activity in SSC-25 cultures, demonstrating that degradation products contributed to the bioactivity. These data demonstrated that the natural ACN composition determines stability, bioaccessibility to the buccal epithelium, and anti-inflammatory activity with oral epithelium. The effects of ACN structure and their degradation products merit further consideration for the development of sound dietary recommendations and/or formulation of ACN-rich products for the promotion of oral health. iii In dedication to my supporting family, my ancestors, and scientists before me. iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First and foremost, I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to Dr. Mark L.

  • Anthocyanin Pigments in Redbud (Cercis Spp) Flowers
    Veazie et al. J Hortic Sci Res 2017, 1(1):13-18 DOI: 10.36959/745/393 | Volume 1 | Issue 1 Journal of Horticultural Science and Research Research Article Open Access Anthocyanin Pigments in Redbud (Cercis spp) Flowers Penelope Perkins-Veazie*, Guoying Ma and Dennis Werner Department of Horticultural Science, Plants for Human Health Institute, North Carolina State University, USA Abstract Redbud (Cercis spp.) is used as a spring flowering ornamental tree and is found wild in much of North America. Typically flowers are light purple although there are selected cultigens that are white, rose, or red-purple. Flowers from cultigens common to the eastern U.S. and from wild Eastern redbud (C. canadensis) were collected and tested for color and anthocyanin pigment composition. The anthocyanins cyanidin 3-glucoside, petunidin 3-glucoside, peonidin 3-glucoside, and malvidin 3-glucoside were most aboundant in purple, rose, and red-purple redbud flowers and total anthocyanin content was 2263 to 8730 mg.kg DW-1. Small amounts of delphinidin, cyanidin, and petunidin 3, diglucosides were also present. Most of the typical purple-flowered redbuds contained cyanidin 3-glucoside as the dominant pigment, while the red-purple flowered ‘Appalachian Red’ and ‘Crosswicks Red’ contained malvidin 3,5-diglucoside as the dominant anthocyanin. An unknown anthocyanin was present in all redbud flowers, and was higher in the red-purple flowered phenotypes. These results show that the color of redbud flowers is from anthocyanins, predominantly cyanidin 3-glucoside and malvidin 3,5-diglucoside, with malvidin 3,5-diglucoside as the primary pigment in red-purple flowers and cyanidin 3-glucoside dominant in purple flowers.

  • The Colour of Red Wine
    THE COLOUR OF RED WINE MARIA JOSEPHINE BIRSE THE UNIVERSITY OF ADELAIDE School of Agriculture, Food & Wine Faculty of Sciences A THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY APRIL 2007 i Abstract The behaviour of pigments in red wine, namely anthocyanins and anthocyanin- derived pigments, was investigated at natural wine pH, at low pH and after addition of SO 2, namely SO 2 bleaching. An examination of current literature demonstrated absences in wine pigment research. Firstly, few researchers have published the colour properties of a particular wine pigment at different pH values and post-SO 2 bleaching. This was demonstrated using the CIELab colours of two individual anthocyanin-derived wine pigments (4-vinylcatechol and 4-vinylsyringol adducts to malvidin 3-glucoside), and an anthocyanin, malvidin 3-glucoside. The colours of the anthocyanin-derived pigments and their resistance to pH change and SO 2 bleaching were compared to malvidin 3-glucoside which was affected by media. Generally, in the literature, wine pigments are characterized as individual components. But many pigments contribute to wine colour. So, two novel methods were created and demonstrated using red wines: Shiraz wines from four regions in Australia, and Cabernet Sauvignon wines made using two different strains, Saccharomyces cerevisiae (SC) or Saccharomyces bayanus (SB). The first method can be used to determine the CIELab colour of chromatographically separated wine pigments and allows their colours to be re-created, regardless of their identity. Thus objective measurement of pigment colour at its natural concentration in wine is now possible. An additional method, the “post-column adjustment method” to pH-adjust and SO 2 bleach HPLC-separated wine pigments was created.

    EFFECT OF SUN EXPOSURE ON THE EVOLUTION AND DISTRIBUTION OF ANTHOCYANINS IN INTERSPECIFIC RED HYBRID WINEGRAPES A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science by Catherine Hope Dadmun August 2020 © 2020 Catherine Hope Dadmun ABSTRACT Interspecific hybrid winegrapes are economically important in areas where environmental pressures inhibit traditional Vitis vinifera production. To clarify the effect of vine microclimate on red hybrid wine color, skin extract anthocyanins were characterized via HPLC for shaded and unshaded fruit from three economically significant cool-climate hybrid cultivars (Vitis spp): Corot noir, Maréchal Foch, and Marquette. Light exposure and berry and air temperature were monitored in Corot noir to represent generalized vine microclimate. Across all cultivars, the samples that underwent the leaf-pulling treatment (exposed samples) did not have significantly different concentrations of total anthocyanins compared to the control (shaded samples). However, certain individual anthocyanins within each cultivar demonstrated different concentrations with the exposure treatment. This work is the first step in defining the evolution of anthocyanin profiles during interspecific hybrid grape ripening to allow cool- climate wine grape growers to optimize viticultural production methods for high-quality red hybrid wines. Keywords: anthocyanin, interspecific hybrid, ripening, sunlight exposure, viticultural practice, leaf removal BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Catherine Dadmun joined Anna Katharine Mansfield’s group in the Department of Food Science and Technology at Cornell University in August 2018. She studies grape and wine chemistry, primarily focusing on hybrid Vitis spp. and the chemical color composition of grapes.

  • The Chemical Reactivity of Anthocyanins and Its Consequences in Food Science and Nutrition
    molecules Review The Chemical Reactivity of Anthocyanins and Its Consequences in Food Science and Nutrition Olivier Dangles * ID and Julie-Anne Fenger University of Avignon, INRA, UMR408, 84000 Avignon, France; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +33-490-144-446 Academic Editors: M. Monica Giusti and Gregory T. Sigurdson Received: 6 July 2018; Accepted: 31 July 2018; Published: 7 August 2018 Abstract: Owing to their specific pyrylium nucleus (C-ring), anthocyanins express a much richer chemical reactivity than the other flavonoid classes. For instance, anthocyanins are weak diacids, hard and soft electrophiles, nucleophiles, prone to developing π-stacking interactions, and bind hard metal ions. They also display the usual chemical properties of polyphenols, such as electron donation and affinity for proteins. In this review, these properties are revisited through a variety of examples and discussed in relation to their consequences in food and in nutrition with an emphasis on the transformations occurring upon storage or thermal treatment and on the catabolism of anthocyanins in humans, which is of critical importance for interpreting their effects on health. Keywords: anthocyanin; flavylium; chemistry; interactions 1. Introduction Anthocyanins are usually represented by their flavylium cation, which is actually the sole chemical species in fairly acidic aqueous solution (pH < 2). Under the pH conditions prevailing in plants, food and in the digestive tract (from pH = 2 to pH = 8), anthocyanins change to a mixture of colored and colorless forms in equilibrium through acid–base, water addition–elimination, and isomerization reactions [1,2]. Each chemical species displays specific characteristics (charge, electronic distribution, planarity, and shape) modulating its reactivity and interactions with plant or food components, such as the other phenolic compounds.

  • Isolation, Structures and Properties of Anthocyanins and Wine Pigments
    t6ì ,,r; '-t lsolation, structures and propert¡es of anthocyanins and w¡ne p¡gments by Robert E. Asenstorfer 10 January 2001 Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Adelaide Department of Horticulture, Viticulture and Oenology Abstract This study concerns the structures, equilibrium distributions and formation of pigments found in red wine. A revision of the macroscopic ionisation and hydration of malvidin-3- glucoside, and a determination of these constants for malvidin-3-(pcoumaryl)glucoside, and the wine pigment, vitisin A were made using a combination of high voltage electrophoresis (HVPE) and UV-visible spectroscopy. The estimated ionisation constants of malvidin-3-glucoside are 1.76, 5,36, and 8.31 for pKa', pKa. and pKa. respectively, whilst the hydration constants are 2.66 and 5.90 for plÇt and pKr. respectively. The absorbance maximum of the flavylium ion is 518 nm, the hemiketa/chalcone is 276 nm and the quinonoidal dianion is 595 nm. The absorbance maxima of the quinonoidal anion are 44 nm and 578 nm. The measurement of the anthocyanin-bound glucose was used to determine the anthocyanin concentrations in solution. These were then used to provide an estimate of the molar absorption coefficient for the malvidin-3-glucoside at pH 0.0 in aqueous solution of 27 958 (r 500). The ionisation constants of malvidin-3-(pcoumaryl)glucoside are 0.94, 4.45, and 8.66 for pKa,, pKa, and pKa. respectively, whilst the hydration constants are 3.01 and 5.90 for pÇ, and pKr. respectively. The absorbance maximum of the flavylium ion is 523 nm, the quinonoidal base is 5.28 nm, the hemiketaUchalcone is 281 nm, and the quinonoidal dianion is 594 nm.

BMC Plant Biology (2020) 20:129 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12870-020-02344-0 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Transcriptomic and metabolomic analysis provides insights into anthocyanin and procyanidin accumulation in pear Zhen Zhang1,2, Changping Tian3, Ya Zhang1,2, Chenzhiyu Li1,2,XiLi1,2, Qiang Yu3, Shuo Wang1,2, Xinyu Wang1,2, Xuesen Chen1,2 and Shouqian Feng1,2* Abstract Background: Pear is one of the most important fruit crops worldwide. Anthocyanins and procyanidins (PAs) are important secondary metabolites that affect the appearance and nutritive quality of pear. However, few studies have focused on the molecular mechanism underlying anthocyanin and PA accumulation in pear. Results: We conducted metabolome and transcriptome analyses to identify candidate genes involved in anthocyanin and PA accumulation in young fruits of the pear cultivar ‘Clapp Favorite’ (CF) and its red mutation cultivar ‘Red Clapp Favorite’ (RCF). Gene–metabolite correlation analyses revealed a ‘core set’ of 20 genes that were strongly correlated with 10 anthocyanin and seven PA metabolites. Of these, PcGSTF12 was confirmed to be involved in anthocyanin and PA accumulation by complementation of the tt19–7 Arabidopsis mutant. Interestingly, PcGSTF12 was found to be responsible for the accumulation of procyanidin A3, but not petunidin 3, 5-diglucoside, opposite to the function of AtGSTs in Arabidopsis. Transformation with PcGSTF12 greatly promoted or repressed genes involved in anthocyanin and PA biosynthesis, regulation, and transport. Electrophoretic mobility shift and luciferase reporter assays confirmed positive regulation of PcGSTF12 by PcMYB114. Conclusion: These findings identify a core set of genes for anthocyanin and PA accumulation in pear.

Nr. R08313 TUTOR: Ch.mo Prof. VENIERO GAMBARO COORDINATORE: Ch.mo Prof. ERMANNO VALOTI A.A. 2010-2011 Ai miei genitori ABSTRACT The aim of this Ph.D. project was to study the phenolic composition of Uva di Troia ad acino piccolo (Uva di Troia with small berry) seeds and skins in relation to the vinification process, in order to create a new nutritional supplement based on the benefits of the phenolics extracted. This grape biotype represents an autochthonous Vitis vinifera L. grape variety of Apulia region (South Italy) and is supposed to have significant levels of polyphenols and a great wine aging potential. Grape samples were collected at four different fermentation stages (from no fermentation to complete fermentation), called thesis . The extraction of seeds was performed with a multi-step extraction by maceration either with ethanol or acetone in water and the extracts obtained were characterized by Reversed Phase Liquid Chromatography coupled to Diode Array Detector (RPLC- DAD). Finally, extracts were successfully purified with Ethyl acetate. On the other hand, skins were subjected to a single step extraction with methanol and the extracts were analyzed by RPLC-UV; only Thesis 1 skin extract was also purified using a synthetic adsorbent resin. Data obtained show that the phenolic content of both grape seeds and skins decreases from the beginning of fermentation to the end of the process; these results are related to the extraction of the active compounds by the must during vinification.
