This pigment was based on cyanidin 3,7-diglucoside as its deacylanthocyanin, and was acylated with two molecules of caffeic acid. The structure was unambiguously elucidated by chemical and spectroscopic methods to be cyanidin 3-O-(β-glucopyranoside)-7-O-[6-O-(4-O-(6-O-(4-O-(β-glucopyranosyl)- trans-caffeoyl)-β-glucopyranosyl)-trans-caffeoyl)-β-glucopyranoside]. Based on the results of the present study, the bluing effect was discussed for the violet flowers of a given cultivar.}, pages = {215--220}, title = {An Acylated Cyanidin 3,7-diglucoside in the Bluish Flowers of Bletilla striata}, volume = {79}, year = {2010} }
