Magnesium formate is a magnesium salt of formic acid. It has been used in studies to develop a multiresidue method for determining pesticides in fruits and vegetables, as well as for the simultaneous determination of tropane alkaloids and glycoalkaloids in grains and seeds. Used for crystallization.

Magnesium oxalate is an inorganic compound comprising a magnesium cation with a 2+ charge bonded to an oxalate anion. Magnesium oxalate is a strong dicarboxylic acid occurring in many plants and vegetables. It is produced in the body by metabolism of glyoxylic acid or ascorbic acid. It is not metabolized but excreted in the urine. It is used as an analytical reagent and general reducing agent. Magnesium oxalate agar was found to select against virulent types of Yersinia enterocolitica.

Magnesium oleate is a food additive, anticaking and emulsifying agent. It has also being shown that environmentally friendly multifunctional metal (magnesium) oleate detergent with antioxidation property has good potential for application in synthesizing a variety of substrate detergents.

Malvidin is a polyphenolic anthocyanin. Anthocyanins are flavonoids widely distributed in fruits and vegetables. Malvidin exhibits antiproliferative, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory bioactivities. It is able to inhibit cGMP-specific phosphodiesterase-5. Malvidin exhibited bimodal activities serving as breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) substrate at low concentrations and, at higher concentrations, as BCRP inhibitor.
