Chemical Information
FooDB NameCatechin
DescriptionCatechin, also known as (2R,3S)-catechin or cianidanol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as catechins. Catechins are compounds containing a catechin moiety, which is a 3,4-dihydro-2-chromene-3,5.7-tiol. Catechin is a bitter tasting compound. Catechin is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as blackcurrants (Ribes nigrum), evergreen blackberries (Rubus laciniatus), and blackberries (Rubus) and in a lower concentration in european plums (Prunus domestica), redcurrants (Ribes rubrum), and cocoa powder. Catechin has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as rice (Oryza sativa), pineapples (Ananas comosus), cloves (Syzygium aromaticum), lingonberries (Vaccinium vitis-idaea), and italian sweet red peppers (Capsicum annuum). This could make catechin a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Catechin.
