Cyanidin is a group of the anthocyanidins counting dye . Cyanidin chloride is practically insoluble in water and is suitable as an indicator , since the red flavylium cation is deprotonated at a pH of 6–6.5 to a red-violet product with a quinoid structure. Up to pH 8, this color changes to royal blue through further deprotonation . At an even higher pH, extracts of black elder or red cabbage also show green color.

Occurrence

Cyanidin is found in glycoside form as anthocyanin in many plants, including red cabbage , red roses , hibiscus , blueberry , raspberry , plum , elderberry , blackberry , blood orange, and rhubarb . In the form of an iron / magnesium / calcium chelate complex , cyanidine causes the blue color of the cornflower ( Centaurea cyanus ).

Methyl ethers of cyanidine ( peonidine and rosinidine ) also occur naturally as glycosides.

Cyanidin as an indicator

The structure of cyanidine changes depending on the pH of the environment. Since each structure has a different color, a solution containing cyanidin can be used to determine the pH value over almost the entire pH scale. The 3- O- glycosides and 3,5- O -diglycosides of cyanidine behave in the same way.

pH-related reactions of the anthocyanidins that cause the color changes.
