The structure of flavonoids in food plants affects bioactivity and important nutritional attributes, like micronutrient bioavailability. This study investigated flavonol and anthocyanin composition of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) of varying genotypes. Black, red, green, white, light brown and golden brown cowpea phenotypes were analyzed for anthocyanins and flavonols using UPLC-triple quadrupole MS/MS. Eight anthocyanins and 23 flavonols (15 newly identified in cowpea) were characterized. Mono-, di-, and tri(acyl)glycosides of quercetin were predominant in most phenotypes; myricetin and kaempferol glycosides were present only in specific phenotypes. The red phenotypes had the highest flavonol content (880 - 1,060 g/g), whereas green and white phenotypes had the lowest (270 - 350 g/g). Only black (1,676 - 2,094 g/g) and green (875 g/g) phenotypes had anthocyanins, predominantly delphinidin and cyanidin 3-O-glucosides. Cowpea phenotype influenced the type and amount of flavonoids accumulated in the seed; this may have implications in selecting varieties for nutrition and health applications. |
