Chemical Information
FooDB NameProanthocyanidin A2
DescriptionProanthocyanidin A2 belongs to the class of organic compounds known as biflavonoids and polyflavonoids. These are organic compounds containing at least two flavan/flavone units. These units are usually linked through CC or C-O-C bonds. Some examples include C2-O-C3, C2-O-C4, C3'-C3''', and C6-C8''. Proanthocyanidin A2 is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Proanthocyanidin A2 has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as herbs and spices, avocado, lingonberries, ceylon cinnamons, and apples. This could make proanthocyanidin A2 a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.
