A new compound resulting
from the oxidative degradation o
f maldivin 3-
O-glucoside under acidconditions was detected in a wine model solution stored under 90 and 25
f">C. It was isolated bysemipreparative HPLC, and its structure was elucidated by UV-vis spectra, mass spectrometry (LC/MS), and NMR spectroscopy (1-D and 2-D). The compound was identi
fied as 8-
fchars/beta2.gi
f" BORDER=0 ALIGN="middle">-
D-glucopyranosyl-2,4-dihydroxy-6-oxo-cyclohexa-2,4-dienyl acetic acid (anthocyanone A), which results
from nucleophilicattack o
f hydrogen peroxide to maldivin 3-
O-glucoside through a Baeyer-
Villiger oxidation
followedby other oxidations steps.
