Plant pigments usually can be extracted by using a solvent such as acidified 
methanol. I have extracted the plant pigment from the peel of fruits. It is 
sure that it not only contains anthocyanins but also other pigments. Is there 
any way that I can seperate anthocyanins from other pigments in the form of 
solution only?  Also I shall be grateful if you would answer me whether or not 
Anthocyanins are belong to 'Chromoplasts'
Thank you
