Description Pelargonidin 3-galactoside is a member of the class of compounds known as anthocyanidin-3-o-glycosides. Anthocyanidin-3-o-glycosides are phenolic compounds containing one anthocyanidin moiety which is O-glycosidically linked to a carbohydrate moiety at the C3-position. Pelargonidin 3-galactoside is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Pelargonidin 3-galactoside can be found in a number of food items such as fruits, gooseberry, vaccinium (blueberry, cranberry, huckleberry), and black chokeberry, which makes pelargonidin 3-galactoside a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
