Chemical Information
FooDB NameEpigallocatechin
Description(-)-Epigallocatechin, also known as epigallocatechol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as epigallocatechins. Epigallocatechins are compounds containing epigallocatechin or a derivative. Epigallocatechin is a flavan-3-ol containing a benzopyran-3,5,7-triol linked to a 3,4,5-hydroxyphenyl moiety (-)-Epigallocatechin is a bitter tasting compound (-)-Epigallocatechin is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as cocoa beans (Theobroma cacao), green tea, and black tea and in a lower concentration in herbal tea, peanuts (Arachis hypogaea), and pomegranates (Punica granatum) (-)-Epigallocatechin has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as common beets (Beta vulgaris), pine nuts (Pinus), common mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus), red bell peppers (Capsicum annuum), and allia (Allium). This could make (-)-epigallocatechin a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on (-)-Epigallocatechin.
