Novel proanthocyanidin dimer analogues with the C-ring-opened diaryl-propan-2-gallate structural unit and enhanced antioxidant activities

This study aimed to establish an approach for preparing new representative proanthocyanidin oligomers from persimmon for further structure−activity relationship study. Persimmon tannins (with a mean degree of polymerization of 23.7) were depolymerized, using 0.1 M methanolic HCl, with (+)-catechin a...
