Polyphenols are the largest group of secondary metabolites in plants, and their structural determination has been a focal point in research. Among polyphenols, procyanidin, also known as condensed tannins, are derived from proanthocyanidins. Procyanidin and proanthocyanidins are ubiquitously present in the plant kingdom and are commonly found in varying concentrations in everyday foods such as fruits, vegetables, legumes, grains, and nuts, as well as in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals containing plant materials. As natural antioxidants, procyanidins are used to stabilize food color, prevent rancidity caused by the oxidation of unsaturated fats, and for the chemoprevention of various degenerative tumors. Besides their antioxidant properties, procyanidin have reported anticancer, anti-infection, anti-inflammatory, cardioprotective, antibacterial, antimutagenic, wound healing, antidiabetic, and antiallergic activities.
Procyanidin A2 is similar to A1, consisting of two catechin or epicatechin units linked by A-type bonds. It is commonly found in cocoa, grape seeds, red wine, and green tea. Procyanidin A2 possesses various biological activities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, lipid-lowering, and anticancer properties. It is used for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, as well as a natural food additive. MtoZ Biolabs offers comprehensive qualitative and quantitative analysis services for procyanidin A2, supporting researchers and institutions in their detailed studies of this compound.
