Motivation: Aquatic insects comprise 64% of freshwater animal diversity and are widely used as bioindicators to assess water quality impairment and freshwater ecosystem health, as well as to test ecological hypotheses. Despite their importance, a comprehensive, global database of aquatic insect occurrences for mapping freshwater biodiversity in macroecological studies and applied freshwater research is missing....
Two series of structurally related anthocyanins, extracted from the blue flowers of Evolvulus pilosus cv. Blue Daze and from the blue-purple flowers of Eichhornia crassipes, exhibit remarkable colour stabilities in aqueous solution at mildly acidic pH values. All the pigments possess the same chromophore (delphinidin), but a different pattern of glycosylation and acylation. Moreover, one of the pigments has an ...
This work describes a straightforward synthesis of two 3′‐(β‐D‐glycopyranosyloxy)flavylium ions thought to be good models of natural anthocyanins (pigments). For both pigments and for the non‐glycosylated flavylium ion taken as a reference, H2O addition and proton‐transfer reactions as well as formation of molecular complexes with chlorogenic acid and caffeine (copigmentation) are quantitatively investigated in...
Three large families of pigments give colour to plants: chlorophylls, carotenoids and flavonoids (Britton, 1983). The two latter are seen by humans on the green background provided by the chlorophylls. Carotenoids and flavonoids are widespread in fruit, flower and vegetable tissues. Flavonoids belong to a larger group of natural organic plant compounds, the polyphenols. Good recent introductions to the biochemi...
