Abstract

This review gives information on the distribution of flavonoids (flavonol and anthocyanin glycosides, catechins, and proanthocyanidins in plants of the family Malvaceae, namely the various species of the genera Gossypium, Hibiscus, Altheae, etc. It is shown that the flavonols are represented by glycosides of kaempferol, quercetin, myricetin, herbacetin. gossypetin, and hibiscetin, the most widespread being glycosides of quercetin and kaempferol. Characteristic for the majority of representatives of the families that were studied are flavonols having a hydroxy group in the C-8 position. Anthocyanins are represented by glycosides of cyanidin and of delphinidin. However, together with these, glycosides of methoxylated anthocyanins have also been detected — peonidin, petinidin, and malvidin. Sources of a food dye have been revealed among representatives of the family. Literature sources up to 1991 have been included.
