Tags
Description
The two examples shown here are flavonoids, which are a type of phenolic compound. (a) The flavour of vanilla is largely produced by flavonoids, an example of which is vanillin. Commercially, vanillin is extracted from the seed capsule of Vanilla planifolia. (b) Another group of flavonoids that causes red, blue, or purple colour are anthocyanins. The red colour of strawberries is caused by pelargonidin, an anthocyanin.
