Abstract: The experiment systematically studied the physical, chemical properties and stability of the pigment from Ligustrum sinense Lour.. The results showed that it was a type of anchocyanin and easy to solve in water, having resistance against heat in acid condition and good resistance against visible light and ultraviolet light. Vitamin C and preservative don’t exert negative effects on the stability of the pigment while H2O2 has negative effects and Na2SO3 has obvious effects, some metal ions such as Fe3+, Cu2+ and Sn2+ also have negative effects.

Key words: pigment from Ligustrum sinense Lour.., physical and chemical property, stability
