Quantification of anthocyanins, protein, and total soluble carbohydrate contents in MAE.

FractionRetention time (min)Content (mg/g)

Cyanidin-3-glucoside31.2472 ± 9.23
Cyanidin-3-rutinoside35.7273 ± 5.12
Pelargonidin-3-glucoside38.014 ± 0.29
Protein72 ± 2.8
Total soluble carbohydrate86 ± 3.6

Anthocyanin concentrations were determined by HPLC analysis. Protein content was determined by the Bradford method and measured at 595 nm. Total soluble carbohydrate was determined by the phenol-sulfuric acid method and measured at 490 nm. All values are mean ± SD. Three replicates were performed in the analysis.
