Notes:
Anil trepador (Cissus sicyoides, Linn) is a tropical tree of the Vitacea family. The pigments in the fruits were extracted and identified by conventional chromatographic, spectral and chemical methods. The pigments, in order of prominence, were delphinidin-3-rutinoside, cyanidin-3-rhamnosyl-arabinoside and delphinidin-3-rhamnoside. Another pigment was present in amounts too low for conventional identification. The anthocyanin content of the fruit juice was 119.4 mg/100 mL. The fruit of this plant may have potential as a food colorant.
