Myrtillin is an

myrtles, roselle plants, and Centella asiatica plant.[citation needed] It is also present in yeast and oatmeal.[citation needed] The sumac fruit's pericarp owes its dark red colour to anthocyanin pigments, of which chrysanthemin, myrtillin and delphinidin have yet been identified.[3][unreliable source?
]

The various colors, such as red, mauve, purple, violet, and blue in Hydrangea macrophylla are developed from myrtillin complexes with metal ions called metalloanthocyanins.[4]

Metabolism

The enzyme

anthocyanin biosynthesis pathway.[5]
