Peonidin Analysis Service

Peonidin is a natural pigment classified under anthocyanins. It features a benzopyran ring (C6-C3-C6) bonded with multiple hydroxyl and methoxy groups. Peonidin's chemical structure resembles other anthocyanins but includes an additional methoxy group, with a molecular formula of C₁₆H₁₃O₆⁺. It is abundantly found in red and purple fruits, flowers, and vegetables, contributing to their vivid colors. Peonidin exhibits various biological activities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties. Consequently, peonidin is extensively utilized in food, health products, and cosmetics.
