Abstract

This study investigates the composition and content of anthocyanins, which are from the purple corn (Zea mays L.) bracts. The content of purple corn anthocyanins (PCA) is 17.13%. Results of the identification of PCA showed that the most prominent of the all components was cyanidin type. DF-1 cells were treated with different concentrations of PCA at different time point. We observed that 50 g/mL PCA was the optimal concentration, which had no cytotoxicity to DF-1 cells. The situation of cell growth was evaluated by optical microscope, cell counter, and MTT assays
