Description

<p>Chemical study on plant pigments is not limited to the elucidation of the chemical structure of the pigments, but also extends to mechanisms of color development in plant cells and biosynthetic pathways of each reaction step, as well as their biological functions. For the past 30 years, we have been studying the chemistry of various flavonoid pigments. In this article, we describe our recent topics on blue flower coloration due to metalloanthocyanin, the mechanism of blue hydrangea color, red azuki and red cabbage pigments as food colorants, and chemical synthesis and biosynthesis of anthocyanins, which are closely related to each other.</p>
