Anthocyanins Analysis Service
Anthocyanins are a class of natural pigments widely found in plants, belonging to the flavonoids. Their basic structure includes a phenyl ring (A ring) and a six-membered oxygen-containing ring (C ring), connected by a bridge (B ring). Depending on the substituents on the B ring, anthocyanins can be categorized into different types: pelargonidin, cyanidin, peonidin, delphinidin, petunidin, and malvidin. These compounds are primarily found in petals, fruits, leaves, and stems, providing vibrant colors such as red, purple, blue, and black. In addition to their role in pigmentation, anthocyanins have various biological functions: (1) Antioxidant effect: They scavenge free radicals, reduce oxidative stress, and protect cells from damage. (2) Anti-inflammatory effect: They alleviate inflammation by inhibiting related enzymes and signaling pathways. (3) Anti-cancer effect: They inhibit cancer cell proliferation and metastasis and induce apoptosis through multiple mechanisms. (4) Cardiovascular protection: They improve vascular function, lower blood pressure, and prevent cardiovascular diseases. (5) Anti-diabetic effect: They help regulate blood sugar levels and increase insulin sensitivity, aiding in diabetes prevention and management.
