Delphinidin (alsodelphinidine[1][2]) is ananthocyanidin, a primaryplant pigment, and also anantioxidant.[3] Delphinidin gives blue hues to flowers in the generaViola andDelphinium. It also gives the blue-red color of thegrape varietyCabernet Sauvignon, and can be found incranberries andConcord grapes as well aspomegranates,[4] andbilberries.[5]
Delphinidin, like nearly all other anthocyanidins, ispH-sensitive, i.e. anatural pH indicator, and changes from blue in basicsolution to red inacidic solution.
Severalglycosides derived from delphinidin are known:
