Metabolite Identification
Common Name(-)-Epigallocatechin
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 cottonseeds (Gossypium), european plums (Prunus domestica), and medlars (Mespilus germanica) (-)-Epigallocatechin has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as carrots (Daucus carota ssp. sativus), pasta, macadamia nuts (Macadamia), brazil nuts (Bertholletia excelsa), and figs (Ficus carica). This could make (-)-epigallocatechin a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods (-)-Epigallocatechin 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 a significant number of articles have been published on (-)-Epigallocatechin.
