Ideain, the cyanidin 3-O-galactoside, is an anthocyanin, a type of plant pigment.

Natural occurrences

Ideain is the main anthocyanin in red-skinned[1] or red-fleshed (for example Weirouge)[2] apple varieties. It is also found in Chinese hawthorn fruits (Crataegus spp.).[3] It is also the pigment in the copper beech (cultivar of Fagus sylvatica), that was identified in 1932.[4]

While it is only one in the many anthocyanins present in bilberries (Vaccinium myrtillus)[5] and cranberries (Vaccinium macrocarpon),[6] it is the main anthocyanin in lingonberries (Vaccinium vitis-idaea).[7]

Quintinia serrata, the tawheowheo, a species of evergreen trees endemic to New Zealand, has different patterns of anthocyanins (cyanidin 3-O-glucoside and cyanidin 3-O-galactoside) in its leaves to protect the shade-adapted chloroplasts from direct sun light.[8]
