Bonjour,
on lit ici pas mal de choses intéressantes (article de la revue
"Molecules") :
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6100629/
Abstract :
The blue sepal color of hydrangea is due to a metal complex anthocyanin
composed of 3-O-glucosyldelphinidin (1) and an aluminum ion with the
co-pigments 5-O-caffeoylquinic acid (2) and/or 5-O-p-coumaroylquinic
acid (3). The three components, namely anthocyanin, Al3+ and
5-O-acylquinic acids, are essential for blue color development, but the
complex is unstable and only exists in an aqueous solution. Furthermore,
the complex did not give analyzable NMR spectra or crystals. Therefore,
many trials to determine the detailed chemical structure of the
hydrangea-blue complex have not been successful to date. Instead, via
experiments mixing 1, Al3+ and 2 or 3 in a buffered solution at pH 4.0,
we obtained the same blue solution derived from the sepals. However, the
ratio was not stoichiometric but fluctuated. To determine the
composition of the complex, we tried direct observation of the molecular
ion of the complex using electrospray-ionization mass spectrometry. In a
very low-concentration buffer solution (2.0 mM) at pH 4.0, we reproduced
the hydrangea-blue color by mixing 1, 2 and Al3+ in ratios of 1:1:1,
1:2:1 and 1:3:1. All solution gave the same molecular ion peak at m/z =
843, indicating that the blue solution has a ratio of 1:1:1 for the
complex. By using 3, the observed mass number was m/z = 827 and the
ratio of 1, 3 and Al3+ was also 1:1:1. A mixture of 1,
3-O-caffeoylquinic acid (4) and Al3+ did not give any blue color but
instead was purple, and the intensity of the molecular ion peak at m/z =
843 was very low. These results strongly indicate that the hydrangea
blue-complex is composed of a ratio of 1:1:1 for 1, Al3+ and 2 or 3.
