Copigmentation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Copigmentation is a phenomenon where pigmentation due to anthocyanidins is reinforced by the presence of other colorless flavonoids known as cofactors or “copigments”. This occurs by the formation of a non-covalently-linked complex.

Examples

in flowers

An example is the bluish purple flowers of the Japanese garden iris (Iris ensata).^[1] The characteristic floral jade coloration of Strongylodon macrobotrys has been shown to be an example of copigmentation, a result of the presence of malvin (the anthocyanin) and saponarin (a flavone glucoside) in the ratio 1:9.^[2]

in berries

It is a phenomenon observed in the berry color of the porcelain berry (Ampelopsis brevipedunculata).

in food

Part of the color of red wine can be due to the copigmentation phenomenon.^[3]
