Metabolite Identification
Common Name(+)-Gallocatechin
Description(+)-Gallocatechin, also known as gallocatechol, 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 (+)-Gallocatechin is a bitter tasting compound (+)-Gallocatechin is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as teas (Camellia sinensis), green tea, and black tea and in a lower concentration in grape wine, japanese persimmons (Diospyros kaki), and broad beans (Vicia faba) (+)-Gallocatechin has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as guavas (Psidium guajava), common wheats (Triticum aestivum), almonds (Prunus dulcis), red beetroots (Beta vulgaris var. rubra), and muskmelons (Cucumis melo). This could make (+)-gallocatechin a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods (+)-Gallocatechin is a primary metabolite. Primary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically essential metabolites. They are directly involved in an organism’s growth, development or reproduction. Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on (+)-Gallocatechin.
