Recently, the team of Professor Wu Cai'e of the School of Light Industry and Food of Nanjing Forestry University published a research paper
entitled "Metal-induced color change in blackberry wine" in LWT-Food Science and Technology (IF=6.
03), a TOP journal in the field of agriculture and forestry science.
PhD student Wu Gang is the first author, Professor Wu Cai'e is the first corresponding author of this paper, Nanjing Forestry University is the first completion, and Jiangsu Academy of Agricultural Sciences is the second completion
.
Blackberries are attracting more and more attention due to their rich in polyphenolic compounds such as anthocyanins and high health care functions, and the research and development of blackberry wine is becoming more and more extensive
.
The rich color of blackberry wine is mainly derived from the rich anthocyanin substances in berries, which are also one of the sources of
antioxidant activity of blackberry wine.
During the brewing and fermentation of blackberry wine, hydroxyl radicals generated by the Fenton reaction will promote the formation of a polymeric structure between metal ions and anthocyanins, resulting in the precipitation
of blackberry wine.
In this paper, the effect of metal ions on the color of blackberry wine was studied.
The mechanism of color change caused by iron ions in cornflower-3-O-glucoside (C3G) solution was resolved.
The maximum concentration ratio of iron ions chelated with fizin-3-O-glucoside (D3G) was evaluated, and the intermolecular forces of iron ions chelating D3G were analyzed
.
The results showed that iron ions could lead to degradation and oxidation of cornflower-3-O-glucoside (C3G), a color-bearing compound in blackberry wine
.
Moreover, iron ions can catalyze the conversion of cornflower-3-O-glucoside (C3G) into femyandrosin-3-O-glucoside (D3G)
in blackberry wine.
When the molar ratio of iron ions to D3G is 4:1, a darker blue tone
can be obtained.
When iron ions are chelated with D3G, the intermolecular forces are mainly hydrophobic forces
.
In this project
, the mechanism of discoloration of blackberry cider caused by iron ions was studied.
It not only provides a theoretical basis for improving the quality of fruit wine, but also provides a reference
for the development of natural blue pigment.

This research work was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (31801531) and the Key Research and Development Program of Jiangsu Province (BE2020380
).
