Main active components of the extract of butterflower

1. Anthocyanins

The anthocyanins in butterfly bean petals are mainly derived from delphinidin, which combines with glucose at the 3,3 'and 5' sites to form delphinidin glucoside, and then is intramolecular acylated with coumaric acid. This intramolecular acylation assisted coloration gives the butterfly bean anthocyanin high stability, which is more stable than the blue anthocyanins such as platycodon and gentian blue. In pH4.0~6.2 aqueous solution, the butterfly bean flower pigment can maintain the blue to blue-violet state, which is a kind of water-soluble pigment with good pH stability and thermal stability.

2. Flavonoids

Myricetin, quercetin, kaempferol, myricetin-3-glucoside, quercetin-3-glucoside, kaempferol glucoside, etc.
