Pelargonidin is an anthocyanidin, a type of plant pigment producing a characteristic orange color used in food and industrial dyes.[1]

Natural occurrences

Presence in flowers

Pelargonidin can be found in red

Anagallis monelli, Myrsinaceae) have a higher concentration of pelargonidin pigment. Red and Pink Roses (Rosa) obtain their color from this phytochemical. [2]

Presence in food

Pelargonidin can be found in berries such as ripe

chokeberries. It is also found in plums and pomegranates. Pelargonidin gives red radishes their color.[4]

It is present in large amounts in kidney beans.[5]

Glycosides

In many plant systems, Pelargonidin can be added to a glucose molecule to form

Pelargonidin 3-glucoside (callistephin). This is done by the 3GT, anthocyanin 3-O-glucosyltransferase gene. [6]

However this glucosidation reduces its antioxidant activity,[7] and changes the wavelength of max light absorbance from 520 nm to 516 nm. [8]

Acylated pelargonidin glycosides can be found in red-purple flowers of Ipomoea purpurea.[9]
