Anthocyanins are a kind of natural pigments, which exist in fruits and vegetables, making them present red to blue hues. In industrial production, most of the common sources of pigment are grape, elderberry, raspberry and red cabbage (purple cabbage). Anthocyanins not only can be used as pigments, but also have many biological activities. Anthocyanins from different sources have different characteristics. Anthocyanin from grape skin can reduce the risk of heart disease. Anthocyanin from elderberry has resistance to influenza virus. Anthocyanin from raspberry has visual acuity
