Description
Summary:ABSTRACT Anthocyanins of northern crowberry ( Empetrum nigrum ssp. hermaphroditum (Hagerup) Böcker) were extracted from the berry with acidified ethanol and purified with solvent extractions and ion exchange chromatography. Separation of anthocyanins and analysis of aglycones were carried out with HPLC. Glycosidic units were analyzed with GLC‐MS. Twelve nonacylated monosides were found: glucoside, galactoside and arabinoside of delphinidin and petunidin, and galactoside and arabinoside of cyanidin, peonidin and malvidin. Three main anthocyanins were galactosides of cyanidin, dolphinidin and malvidin which formed about 60% of total anthocyanins.
