Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
For most horticultural crops, especially those with fleshy fruits, fruit color is an important appearance characteristic that largely determines their market value and consumer preference. Anthocyanins are naturally occurring pigments ubiquitously present in fruit of many plants that render them vivid red, purple, and blue. Besides, anthocyanins have antioxidant, angiocardiopathy, and cancer prevention capacities, and are recognized as natural health ingredients with beneficial effects on humans.
In this special issue, articles (including original research papers, perspectives, hypotheses, opinions, reviews, modeling approaches, and methods) focus on the isolation, analytical characterization, chemical structure, biological activity, biosynthesis and artificial synthesis of anthocyanins and their various glycosides. e.g. Biological activity (pharmacology and toxicology) of anthocyanins including in vitro and in vivo pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics; Structure–activity studies of anthocyanins; Research progress and prospect of synthetic biology (total or semi-synthesis) of anthocyanins.
