Abstract
The anthocyanin pigments in hulls of purple sunflower seeds have been identified by chromatographic, spectral and chemical properties. The four most abundant anthocyanins were identified as cyanidin 3-glucoside, cyanidin 3-malonylglucoside, cyanidin 3-xyloside and cyanidin 3-malonylxyloside. This is the first report of malonylated anthocyanins in sunflower seeds and the first characterization in plants of the malonyl xyloside.
