Chemical Information
FooDB Nameent-Epicatechin
Description(+)-Epicatechin, also known as ent-epicatechin, 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 (+)-Epicatechin is found, on average, in the highest concentration within pears (Pyrus communis) (+)-Epicatechin has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as star fruits (Averrhoa carambola), red tea, common buckwheats (Fagopyrum esculentum), apples (Malus pumila), and asian pears (Pyrus pyrifolia). This could make (+)-epicatechin a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on (+)-Epicatechin.
