Like many fruits in order to achieve wide spread dispersal of the seeds it carries it has to advertise the fact by making itself visible against the green foliage - hence the dark purple colour of the skin.

It thus comes as no surprise that it is the purple pigment of the fruit that is of most interest to scientists.

The specific form in aubergine is called nasunin and has been shown to be a potent scavenger of free radicals - powerful [oxidants] and a major cause of age and lifestyle related diseases. Nusumin is also reported to have anti-angiogenesis activity, that is it blocks the development of new blood vessels. The development of a good supply is a characteristic of cancerous (malignant) tissues and thus it has been suggested that nusumin may have anticancer properties.
