types of Polyphenols
flavonols flavones lavanones anthocyanins isoflavones flavanols proanthocyanidins Phenolic acids with cinnamic derivatives (coumaric, ferulic, sinapic caffeic and chlorogenic acid) Phenolic acids with benzoic derivatives (hydroxybenzoic acids, gallic acids and tannins)
flavonols source
flavonols (quercetin and kaempferol), found mostly in onions, leeks, broccoli and blueberries
flavones source
flavones (luteolin and apigenin) found mainly in celery and parsley
flavanones source
flavanones (hesperetin and naringenin) are rich in oranges and grapefruits
isoflavones source
isoflavones, found mainly in soya and legumes
flavanols source
flavanols (catechin and proanthocyanidins) are rich in chocolate and tea,
(epigallocatechin and epigallocatechin gallate) are mainly in grapes
proanthocyanidins source
proanthocyanidins are rich in peaches, pears, apples and berries
anthocyanins example
anthocyanins (cyanidin, petunidin, pelargonidin and malvidin
Phenolic acids with benzoic derivatives source
widely in fruits and vegetables, nuts
Phenolic acids with cinnamic derivatives source
coffee
Flavonoids structure
# contains two aromatic rings # found mostly as glycosides derivatives. # The main sugar associated is glucose. # could be attached to mono-, di- and oligosaccharides and other compounds, such as, lipids and amines
