[edit] Antioxidants

While anthocyanins are antioxidants the importance of dietary antioxidants is contentious. For the statement anthocyanins are "why fruits and vegetables with red skins and tissues are a nutritious food source." either properly cite or remove.

[edit] Miscellaneous

What color is Anthocyanin in plants? Save page

In which December was the study performed?

All the pigments listed (e.g. malvidine, delphinidine, etc) are spelled, if I'm not mistaken, accoding to the French not the English norms -- they should be malvadin, delphinidin, etc. Comparative Google searches bear this out. Someone who knows for certain regarding spelling should make the change.

I found complete information in german wiki: Anthocyane--Quer 00:37, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

I noticed that the leaves inside of copper beeches are less purple that the leaves outside. The article mentions that anthocyanin acumulation depends on light (all other things being equal). I suppose this explains that? Should this be so, maybe worthwhile to explain this and the mechanism by which light exposure enhances anthocyanin production? --Harol2 08:18, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Biosynthesis section should move

I think the biosynthesis section should be moved to flavonoids. --Kupirijo 02:38, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Create anthocyanidin article

What do people think about making an anthocyanidin article out of this article? --Kupirijo 02:40, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] There's something wrong with this table

I've learned at school that the darker coloured a fruit is, the more anhocyanins it contains. Why red currants and raspberries are higher than blackcurrants then??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.16.132.162 (talk) 14:45, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
