흑색계(캠벨어얼리, 거봉, 머스캇베일리에이)와 적색계(노스레드)의 4종류의 포도 품종에 대하여 안토시아닌의 조성을 분석하고 과피에서 추출한 안토시아닌 색소의 색발현을 조사하였다. 조사한 4종류의 품종에서 모두 12종류의 안토시아닌을 확인할 수 있었으며 흑색계 품종에서 특히 머스캇베일리에이 품종은 안토시아닌 조성이 가장 다양한 반면 적색계의 노스레드는 안토시아닌 조성이 비교적 단순하였다. 포도 과피에서 안토시아닌 농축액을 조제한 후 품종별 색 발현

The anthocyanin pigment composition and color of several grape cultivars including Campbell Early, Muscat Bailey A, Kyoho (black berries), and North Red (red berries), were investigated. Twelve types of anthocyanins were identified in these cultivars by LC-MS. Black-colored cultivars, especially Muscat Bailey A, contained the widest range of anthocyanins, whereas the anthocyanin composition of North Red, the red-colored cultivar, was relatively simple. Anthocyanins extracted from the skin of berries were red in color at low pH, regardless of the origin of the extract. At higher pH, however, various colors, including blue, violet, brown, and black, were evident, depending on the cultivar. Differences in color expression among cultivars may be related to variations in the types and amounts of anthocyanidins synthesized, from which anthocyanin pigments are derived. The colors expressed by anthocyanin pigments were strong and diverse even at low concentrations. Therefore, anthocyanins extracted from grapes may be useful as natural food colorants.
