Pigments derived from natural sources, display a wide range of colours and are usually regarded as safe. Among those pigments, anthocyanins assume an important role when dealing with natural
colourants. These polyphenolic compounds constitute the largest group of water-soluble pigments throughout the plant kingdom. These natural pigments are usually associated with red fruits, but
are present also in vegetables, roots and cereals.
In addition to their colour features, anthocyanins have more interest due to their possible health attributes, such as a reduced risk of coronary diseases, reduced risk of stroke, anticarcinogen
activity, anti-inflammatory effects and improved cognitive behaviour.
The consumption of anthocyanins reported in the literature isaround 200 mg per day in the US. These values are higher for frequent red wine consumers. However, despite not being the best source of anthocyanins compared to fruit berries, anthocyanins from red wine may complex with other wine components, thereby their consumption levels will be significantly higher than initially expected . Also, anthocyanins may undergo several chemical transformations in red wine, yielding new classes of anthocyanin-derived pigments.
