Anthocyanins (Flavylium salts): Anthyocyanidins are responsible for the red, violet and blue colours of flowers and other plant parts. They are mostly present in plants as glycosides of hydroxylated 2-phenylbenzopyrylium salts. Cleavage by acid hydrolysis produces the corresponding free flavylium salts.Crocus: Croci stigma contains crocetin, a 8,8′-diapocarotenedioic acid. The bright yellow digentiobiosyl ester crocin is water soluble.
