Abstract: A reverse phase HPLC method was utilized to investigate anthocyanin composition and content in different peach cultivars. The calibration curve of cyanidin-3-glucoside was linear (r=0.9992) in the range of 0.4–100 μg/mL, and the recovery rates at lower, median and higher concentration were 85.7%, 89.4%, 92.1%, respectively. Cyanindin-3-glucoside was a major anthocyanin in three different peach cultivars. The cyanidin-3-glucoside contents in blood-flesh, yellow-flesh and white-flesh peach were 103.7, 30.6, 21.5 mg/kg (fresh weight), respectively. This method is suitable for quantitative analysis of cyanidin-3-glucoside in peach.
