Notes:
Anthocyanins were extracted from taro with 50% methanol, isolated by adsorbtion on insoluble polyvinylpyrrolidone, and purified by thinlayer chromatography. The pigments were identified by chromatographic and spectrophotometric methods as pelargonidin 3-glucoside, cyanindin 3-rhamnoside and cyanidin 3-glucoside. Levels of anthocyanins were highest in the skin of the corm, 16.0% mg%, with equal amounts, 4.29 mg%, in both corm and petiole. Anthocyanogens also were present.
