How nutrients influence it
Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.
Other things that act on it
Enzymes, hormones, genes, and other components with a recorded effect. These are not nutrients, so they do not count toward the arrows above. Each finding names the chapter that recorded it.
How nutrients reach it in more than one step
Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

What it does
Every recorded relationship this component is part of, grouped by its role. Plain wording comes first; the technical statement follows.
What acts on it
Ascorbic acid accelerated cyanidin-3-galactoside color loss at pH 3 and 25 C; 1000 mg/L shortened the modeled color half-life to about 0.3 days.

**Vitamin C can accelerate pigment loss in a formulation.** At pH 3 and 25 °C, added ascorbic acid accelerated bleaching of cyanidin-3-galactoside and chokeberry pigments. At 1,000 mg/L ascorbic acid, the modeled cyanidin-3-galactoside color half-life fell from about 22.8 days to 0.3 days. A carboxypyrano derivative resisted bleaching better but still reacted. These are storage chemistry and chemical-identity findings, not evidence that eating berries with vitamin C is harmful or causes systemic vitamin depletion. Color retention and intact-molecule retention must also be distinguished. [Farr and Giusti, 2018](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6017693/).
