Abstract
The presence of betacyanin pigments and their isoforms has been detected in the fruit of Hylocereus polyrhizus, a vine cactus native to South America. Along with the known betanin and phyllocactin (6′-O-malonylbetanin), a new betacyanin was structurally elucidated as betanidin 5-O-[6′-O-(3′-hydroxy-3′-methyl-glutaryl)β- D-glucopyranoside] (proposed trivial name hylocerenin) by means of electrospray MS/MS, HPLC, and NMR techniques.
