Effects of Flavanols on Enteroendocrine Secretion

Biomolecules, 2020
Some beneficial effects of grape seed proanthocyanidin extract (GSPE) can be explained by the modulation of enterohormone secretion. As GSPE comprises a combination of different molecules, the pure compounds that cause these effects need to be elucidated. The enterohormones and chemoreceptors present in the gastrointestinal tract differ between species,

Kinetic investigations of sulfite addition to flavanols [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2020
AbstractFlavanols are an important class of natural products occurring in almost all plants, fruits and vegetables; they have a great influence on wine ageing potential, astringency, colour stability and biological activities. In wine, flavanols react with sulfur dioxide ($$\hbox {SO}_2$$SO2), the most widely used preservative in oenology, leading to ...
