Delphinidin
Delphinidin, also known as delphinidin chloride (CAS: 528-53-0), belongs to the class of organic compounds known as 7-hydroxyflavonoids. These are flavonoids that bear one hydroxyl group at the C-7 position of the flavonoid skeleton. Thus, delphinidin is considered to be a flavonoid lipid molecule. Delphinidin is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as bilberries, cowpea, and blackcurrants, and in a lower concentration in common beans, common pea, and wheats. Delphinidin has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as Brussel sprouts, fruits, horseradish tree, pepper (C. pubescens), and macadamia nuts. This could make delphinidin a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Delphinidin is an anthocyanin and a primary plant pigment. Delphinidin gives blue hues to flowers like violas and delphiniums. It also gives the blue-red colour of the grape that produces Cabernet Sauvignon, and can be found in cranberries (Wikipedia). BioTransformer predicts that delphinidin is a product of 5,7-dihydroxy-3-{oxy}-2-(3,4,5-trihydroxyphenyl)-1λ⁴-chromen-1-ylium metabolism via a glycoside-hydrolysis reaction occurring in human gut microbiota and catalyzed by an EC.3.2.1.X enzyme (PMID: 30612223). Widespread anthocyanidin found especies in blueberries, raspberries and red table wine. Glycosides also widespread. Delphinidin is found in many foods, some of which are macadamia nut (m. tetraphylla), oval-leaf huckleberry, napa cabbage, and sunburst squash (pattypan squash). 3,5,7-Trihydroxy-2-(3,4,5-trihydroxyphenyl)-1-benzopyrylium.

Apigenidin
Apigenidin is a member of the class of compounds known as 7-hydroxyflavonoids. 7-hydroxyflavonoids are flavonoids that bear one hydroxyl group at the C-7 position of the flavonoid skeleton. Apigenidin is practically insoluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Apigenidin can be found in corn, which makes apigenidin a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. Apigeninidin. CAS Common Chemistry.

Pelargonidin
Pelargonidin, also known as pelargonidin chloride (CAS: 134-04-3) is an anthocyanin. Anthocyanins are water-soluble glycosides and acylglycosides of anthocyanidins, which are polyhydroxy and polymethoxyl derivatives of a 2-phenylbenzopyrylium (flavylium) cation. They are widely distributed in foods of plant origin, especially in fruits and vegetables with dark red and blue colours. Numerous epidemiologic and clinical trials show that fruits and vegetables, many of which are rich in anthocyanins, may be related to the decreased incidence of many chronic and degenerative diseases, including heart disease, cancer, and aging. Antioxidant mechanisms were suggested as potential means of disease prevention. Anthocyanins are strong antioxidants in vitro. In most cases, fruits and vegetables with high anthocyanin content were shown to have higher antioxidant capacity than other fruits and vegetables. Whether anthocyanins are effective antioxidants in vivo remains an open question primarily because of the relatively low apparent absorption of anthocyanins compared with other phenolic compounds (PMID: 15465754). BioTransformer predicts that pelargonidin is a product of 5-[(6-{[(2-carboxyacetyl)oxy]methyl}-3,4,5-trihydroxyoxan-2-yl)oxy]-3,7-dihydroxy-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1λ⁴-chromen-1-ylium metabolism via a glycoside-hydrolysis reaction occurring in human gut microbiota and catalyzed by an EC.3.2.1.X enzyme (PMID: 30612223). Anthocyanin pigment present in many plants, flowers and fruits, e.g. cherries, raspberries, radishes, orchids, brassicas, Petunia subspecies Glycosides also widely distributed. Pelargonidin is found in many foods, some of which are almond, radish (variety), garden tomato, and tarragon.
Delphinidin
An anthocyanidin cation consisting of benzopyrylium with hydroxy substituents at the 3-, 5- and 7-positions and a 3,4,5-trihydroxyphenyl group at the 2-position. It is a plant pigment responsible for the colours of the plants of the genera Viola and Delphinium.
pelargonidin
An anthocyanidin cation that is flavylium substituted by a hydroxy groups at positions 3, 5, 7 and 4.
