Abstract:The pigment composition of strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) fruits mainly consists of anthocyanins, which are important components for fruit coloration and which have beneficial effects on human health. The anthocyanin content of the fruits of 48 strawberry cultivars and wildtype Fragaria vesca was analyzed. Cyanidin 3-glucoside (Cy3G), pelargonidin 3-glucoside (Pg3G) and pelargonidin 3-malonylglucoside (Pg3MG) were identified as major anthocyanins on the basis of the results of TLC, HPLC, and sugar and organic acid analyses, respectively. Cy3G and Pg3G were detected in each fruit that was sampled. In all the cultivars, Pg3G accounted for at least 50% of the total anthocyanin content, while Pg3MG was found in several cultivars.
