In a comparison of the behaviour of three esters of three esters of p-coumaroylquinic acid formed a stable blue complex with hydrangea anthocyanin (delphinidin-3-glucoside) and aluminium; the 4- and 5- isomers were ineffective. Complex formation was almost identical with that occurring with 3-caffeoylquinic acid. Solutions of both ternary complexes were very stable at pH 3.7 at room temperature. Similar colour augmentation occurred with 3-p-coumaroylquinic acid, aluminium and cyanidin 3-glycoside but not with pelargonidin or malvidin glucosides. It is proposed that aluminium conjugates with the ortho-dihydroxy group of the anthocyanin B ring and the carboxyl and .alpha.-hydroxyl groups of the quinic acid moiety and that the complexes are stabilized in the manner of acylated anthocyanins.
