ANTHOCYANIN DYE DERIVED FROM CAMELLIA JAPONICA, METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME AND USE THEREOF, AND METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING VARIETY OF CAMELLIA JAPONICA

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for separating an anthocyanin dye developing red color from an extract of a flower or a petal of Camellia japonica, and to provide a method for knowing a difference in dye distribution among varieties of the Camellia japonica by knowing a chemical structure of the separated dye.

SOLUTION: The method for obtaining various anthocyanin dyes containing a new anthocyanin dye from the extract of the flower or the petal of the Camellia japonica is provided. Furthermore, the method for classifying the Camellia japonica by carrying out a high-performance liquid chromatographic analysis using the resultant anthocyanin dyes as specimens is provided.
