Malvidin (Mv) is an O-methylated anthocyanidin. As a primary plant pigment, its glycosides are highly abundant in nature. It is primarily responsible for the color of red wine, Vitis vinifera being one of its sources.^[1] It is also one of the anthocyanidins responsible for the blue pigment found in the Primula plants of the polyanthus group.

Slightly acidic and neutral solutions of malvidin are characteristically of a red color, while basic solutions of malvidin yield a blue color.

The breakdown of malvidin releases syringic acid.

Glycosides

• Malvin is a malvidin diglucoside.
• Oenin is the malvidin-3-glucoside.
• Primulin is the 3-O-galactoside of malvidin.
