A Comparative Study on Color Stability of Anthocyanin Hybrid Pigments Derived from 1D and 2D Clay Minerals.

ABSTRACT: Anthocyanin extracted from the fresh blue berry fruits was loaded onto different clay minerals including one-dimensional tubular halloysite and fibrous sepiolite, and two-dimensional lamellar kaolinite and montmorillonite to fabricate reversible allochroic hybrid pigments. The effect of the possible interaction mechanism between anthocyanin and clay minerals on the color stability of hybrid pigments was investigated. Due to the difference in the structures and properties of clay minerals, natural anthocyanin was inclined to be absorbed on the surface and intercalated into the interlayer of 2:1 type layered montmorillonite, while it was mainly anchored on the surface of 1:1 type kaolinite and halloysite. By contrast, it was simultaneously loaded on the surface and confined into the nanochannels and/or grooves of 2:1 type chain-layered sepiolite. Interestingly, the resulting hybrid pigments presented good thermal stability and resistance to chemical reagents, as well as reversible gas-sensitive allochroic behavior in HCl or NH₃ gases, especially anthocyanin/sepiolite hybrid pigments due to the shielding effect of the well-defined nanochannels and grooves of sepiolite. Based on this color-change behavior, a simple pH test paper was also prepared with obvious color change at different pH values by coating the filter paper with anthocyanin/sepiolite hybrid pigments.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Anthocyanins are the primary source of colour in flowers and also accumulate in vegetative tissues, where they have multiple protective roles traditionally attributed to early compounds of the metabolic pathway (flavonols, flavones, etc.). Petal-specific loss of anthocyanins in petals allows plants to escape from the negative pleiotropic effects of flavonoid and anthocyanins loss in vegetative organs, where they perform a plethora of essential functions. Herein, we investigate the degree of pleiotropy at the biochemical scale in a pink-white flower colour polymorphism in the shore campion, Silene littorea. We report the frequencies of pink and white individuals across 21 populations and underlying biochemical profiles of three flower colour variants: anthocyanins present in all tissues (pink petals), petal-specific loss of anthocyanins (white petals), and loss of anthocyanins in all tissues (white petals). RESULTS:Individuals lacking anthocyanins only in petals represent a stable polymorphism in two populations at the northern edge of the species range (mean frequency 8-21%). Whereas, individuals lacking anthocyanins in the whole plant were found across the species range, yet always at very low frequencies (< 1%). Biochemically, the flavonoids detected were anthocyanins and flavones; in pigmented individuals, concentrations of flavones were 14-56× higher than anthocyanins across tissues with differences of > 100× detected in leaves. Loss of anthocyanin pigmentation, either in petals or in the whole plant, does not influence the ability of these phenotypes to synthesize flavones, and this pattern was congruent among all sampled populations. CONCLUSIONS:We found that all colour variants showed similar flavone profiles, either in petals or in the whole plant, and only the flower colour variant with anthocyanins in photosynthetic tissues persists as a stable flower colour polymorphism. These findings suggest that anthocyanins in photosynthetic tissues, not flavonoid intermediates, are the targets of non-pollinator mediated selection.
