Abstract：The changes of anthocyanin metabolism in Xinjiang red -flesh apple [Malus sieversii f.nei-dzwetzkyana(Dieck)Langenf.]were studied during fruit development.The anthocyanin content in flesh de-creased gradually from May 18 to June 11,but increased slowly from July 5 to July 29.In mature fruits,the anthocyanin content was 0.36 mg·g -1 FW,which were higher than that of common cultivars.It suggested that the Xinjiang red -flesh apple was a potential and good source of anthocyanin.There was significantly negative correlation (R =-0.75)between soluble sugar content and carotenoid content,and significantly positive cor-relation (R =0.79)between anthocyanin content and carotenoid content;no significant correlations were found between anthocyanin content and the activities of pheammonialyase (PAL)and anthocyanidin synthase (ANS),which implied some pathways to consume anthocyanin.
