Anthocyaninpigments in six strawberry (Fragaria×ananassa Duch.) cultivars including America,Chiyoda, Hoko-wase, Toyonoka, Tioga and Chandler, which were used as fruit material for jam processing, were isolated by cellulose thin-layer chromatography and identified by conventional chromatographic and spectrometric techniques.Then, individual anthocyanins were quantified by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using reversed C-18 column and detection at 520 nm.Six strawberry cultivars contained the same five anthocyanins as follows: cyanidin-3-monoglucoside (Cy-3G), pelargonidin-3-monogalactoside (Pl-3Ga), pelargonidin-3-monoglucoside (Pl-3G), cyanidin and pelargonidin in the elution order of HPLC.Anthocyanin content of cv.Chandler was the most abundant (29.60mg/100g fresh mass) while cv.America was the smallest amount of anthocyanin (6.50mg) in the cultivars investigated.In distribution ratio of individual anthocyanin, Pl-3Ga was 85% or above in all cultivars studied.Cv. America was characterized by relative high percentage of Cy-3Ga (12%) and cv.Chandler by Pl-3G (9%).Whereas, cvs.Chiyoda, Hoko-wase and Toyonoka were characterized by relatively similar amount and ratio of anthocyanin.
