Abstract:

Anthocyanins in purple sweet potato were tentatively identified and quantified by HPLC-MS to assess their partition
characteristics during aqueous two-phase extraction. Eight anthocyanins including cyanidin and peonidin with different acylated
groups were indentified. The anthocyanidin and acylated groups of anthocyanins could influence their partitions in the aqueous
two-phase system. Cyanidin-type anthocyanins had a greater partition coefficient than peonidin-type ones of the same degree of
acetylation. With the same aglycones, diacylated anthocyanins had a greater partition coefficient than monoacylated ones.

Key words: purple sweet potato, anthocyanin, aqueous two-phase, distribution coefficient
