Idaein, also known as ideain, cyanidin 3-O-galactoside , or Cy3Gal, is a type of anthocyanin, a class of plant pigment compounds.

Contents

Natural occurrences

Idaein is the main anthocyanin compound in lingonberries ( Vaccinium vitis-idaea ), [1] [2] and the name of the compound is derived from the Latin name of the plant. [1] [3] It is also present as one of the many anthocyanins compounds found in bilberries ( Vaccinium myrtillus ) [4] and cranberries ( Vaccinium macrocarpon ). [5]

Idaein is the main anthocyanin in red-skinned or red-fleshed (for example Weirouge [6] or Surprise) apple varieties. [7] [8] [9] It is also found in Chinese hawthorn fruits ( Crataegus spp.). [10] It is also the pigment in the copper beech (cultivar of Fagus sylvatica), that was identified in 1932. [11]

Quintinia serrata , the tawheowheo, a species of evergreen trees endemic to New Zealand, has different patterns of anthocyanins (cyanidin 3-O-glucoside and cyanidin 3-O-galactoside) in its leaves to protect the shade-adapted chloroplasts from direct sun light. [12]
