Investigation of the full composition of blackcurrant skin extract post-spe
Blackcurrant post-spe extract 1 H NMR 1 H NMR spectrum (from MeOH) of the blackcurrant extract indicated presence of four major anthocyanins Relative ratio of ANCs based on integration values in good agreement with HPLC results characteristic peaks for anthocyanins

Identification of other components FLAVANOLS: HYDROXYCINNAMIC ACIDS:
Liquid-liquid partitioning Aim was to purify anthocyanin extract by separating from other polyphenols Method for anthocyanin enrichment had to be scalable and economically viable Liquid-liquid partitioning was considered a good starting point as it can be scaled up relatively easily
Liquid-liquid partitioning In acidic conditions, charged AH + anthocyanins have higher solubility in water HO O R 1 OH R 2 However, uncharged flavonoids are expected to be relatively less water soluble OH OGly flavylium cation (AH + ) Sugar moieties should enhance water solubility of neutral polyphenols

Sequential liquid-liquid partitioning Extract first partitioned with isopropyl acetate removes quercetin and myricetin algycons and hydroxycinnamic acids Extract then partitioned with ethyl acetate removes quercetin and myricetin glucosides ipropyl acetate ethyl acetate
ph-controlled liquid partitioning At ph 6.3: quercetin rutinoside (7.52 ppm) and myricetin rutinoside (7.30 ppm) migrate into EtOAc layer At ph 12.1: quercetin and myricetin rutinosides do not migrate into EtOAc Aqueous layer at ph 6.3 Anthocyanins quercetin-3-rut myricetin-3-rut Aqueous layer at ph 12.1
Anthocyanins EtOAc at ph 12 EtOAc at ph 6 EtOAc at ph 1.8

Sequential liquid-liquid partitioning with ph changes BC extract comprises 48% ANC and 26% other polyphenols Myricetin and quercetin rutinosides removed with EtOAc at ph 6.3 iproac at ph 1.8 removes hydroxycinnamic acids and myricetin + quercetin aglycons Four ANC remain in aqueous layer (immediately acidified and freeze dried) Trace ANC EtOAc at ph 1.8 selectively removes myricetin + quercetin glucosides
ph-controlled liquid partitioning At ph 6.3 myricetin-3-rut + quercetin-3-rut migrate into EtOAc At ph 6.3 neutral ANC anhydrobase (A) should form But Cy-3-rut, Cy-3-glc, Dp-3-rut and Dp-3-glc (A form?) do not migrate into EtOAc Potential of disruption of co-pigmentation?

Conclusions Blackcurrant extract post-spe can be purified using sequential liquid-liquid and ph change extraction Provides an isolate with only four anthocyanins present (clean 1 H NMR evidence) in a process that is industrially scalable Separation enable by relative water solubility of different components in BC extract mixture Further investigation required to determine reasons for EtOAc separation of myricetin-3-rut + quercetin-3-rut from neutral anhydrobase forms of ANC glycosides at ph 6.3
