Abstract:

The anthocyanin compositions in blackberry fruit were isolated using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) equipped with a lichrospher C18 column and a DAD detector and characterized by UV spectrometry, gas chromatography (GC) and electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS). A total of 4 anthocyanins were found to be isolated on the C18 column. Among them were cyanidin (Cy) 3-O-glucoside (76.92%) , Cy 3-O-arabinoside (5.57%), Cy 3-Omalonylglucoside( 2.76%)and Cy 3-O-dioxalylglucoside (14.75%).

Key words: blackberry, anthocyanin, high performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-MS/MS)
