Abstract: This article studied the stability effect of pH value and Fe3+ on pokeberry pigment. The results indicated that, the pokeberry pigment is stabler on the pH5.0 condition, the stability reduces on acidity and in the alkalinity condition, In the citric acid - sodium hydrogen phosphate buffer solution, as a result of formation of the reddish purple color Fe3+- citric acid complex compound, the existence of Fe3+ has effect on increase of pokeberry pigment corlor.

Key words: pokeberry pigment, pH value, Fe3+, stability
