Abstract

Anthocyanins pigments were isolated from the pigmented rice seeds (cultivar Killimhuk-mi) by a combination of Sephadex LH-20 and preparative high performance liquid chromatographies. Four anthocyanins were identified by their chromatographic, spectral and chemical properties. The major pigment was cyanidin 3-glucoside and cyanidin 3-oxalyl-glucoside was found in the rice for the first time.
