The chemical composition and biological action of a new food dyestuff separated from the grain sorhum film were studied. From 1 kg of the grain sorhum 169--248 g of the film are retrieved; and from this it is possible to obtain from 17 to 40 g of a flavonoid dyestuff that consists of cyanadine, quercitrol and pelargonidine. The dyestuff can be utilized in the food industry in preparing bisquit cream products, caramels and fruit starch jellies. Biological investigations with applied testing methods proved the dyestuff to be non-toxic: its introduction to animals for six months did not produce any morphological changes in the tissues of the liver, kidneys, thyroid and pancreatic glands, nor did it affect the content of glycogen in the hepatic tissues.
对从谷物高粱薄膜中分离出的一种新型食用染料的化学成分和生物活性进行了研究。从1千克谷物高粱中可回收169 - 248克薄膜；从中可获得17至40克由矢车菊素、槲皮醇和天竺葵色素组成的类黄酮染料。该染料可用于食品工业，制备饼干奶油制品、焦糖和水果淀粉果冻。采用应用测试方法进行的生物学研究证明该染料无毒：将其给动物喂食六个月，肝脏、肾脏、甲状腺和胰腺组织未出现任何形态变化，也未影响肝脏组织中糖原的含量。
