Oenin is an anthocyanin. It is the 3-O-glucoside of malvidin (malvidin-3-O-glucoside). It is one of the red pigments found in purple grape skins and red wine. [1] [2]
Color stabilization of oenin at a higher pH can be explained by self-aggregation of the flavylium cation and copigmentation with the Z-chalcone form. [3] In the presence of procyanidin C2, the red color of oenin appears more stable. However, the HPLC chromatogram shows a decrease in the amplitude of the peaks of oenin and procyanidin C2. Concomitantly, a new peak appears with a maximal absorption in the red region. This newly formed pigment probably comes from the condensation of oenin and procyanidin C2. [4]
Oenin alone is not oxidized in the presence of grape polyphenol oxidase, whereas it is degraded in the presence of a crude grape PPO extract and of caftaric acid forming anthocyanidin-caftaric acid adducts. [5]
