Catechins

 

The Introduction of Catechins:

 

The most commonly studied polyphenols (also called flavonoids) are procyanidins, quercetin, isoflavones (genistein and daidzein), and catechins. Catechins are a type of phenolic compound found in berries, tea, and cocoa, all of which are foods containing antioxidants thanks to this polyphenol. Catechins can be harvested from a variety of sources including many herbs, fruits, vegetables, beverages, algae, and confectionary items. But their contents and types vary considerably among various sources. The availability of diverse sources also varies around the globe, which is a major reason for the nonuniform intake of nutrition.

Catechins are condensation-type tannins with a ring and the basic structure of flavan-3-ol. They have many chemical structural features, such as hydroxyl groups (−OH), that combine easily with other materials. Catechins have gained significant attention in recent years due to their potential role in promoting overall well-being and preventing various diseases. From boosting the immune system to supporting heart health and aiding in weight management, catechins have been extensively studied for their remarkable properties.

Classification of Catechins:

 

Catechin belongs to flavanols and is the main component of tea polyphenols. According to the different types of carbocycles, catechins are mainly divided into four categories: epicatechin (EC), epigallocatechin (EGC), epicatechin gallate (ECG) and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). Among them, there are many isomers of catechin due to the structural differences of molecules, such as geometric isomerism and optical isomerism. At present, there are 12 kinds of catechins found, among which a large number are: L-EGCG; L-EGC; L-ECG; L-EC; D-GC; There are six kinds of D-C. (D, L configuration) According to the determination, most catechins in tea are L-type, and few are D-type; However, L-type catechins are mostly levorotatory and cis-type catechins. D-type transitions have the right optical rotation, and most of them are trans.

 

Efficacy and Function of Catechins:

 

Catechin is a natural oil antioxidant, which can scavenge free radicals produced by the human body to protect cell membranes and slow down aging.

Because tea contains fluorine, it can give teeth a strong resistance to acid erosion. In addition, clinical experiments show that catechins can significantly reduce dental plaque and slow down periodontal disease.

Catechins can inhibit human pathogenic bacteria (such as Botox), while not harming the proliferation of beneficial bacteria (such as lactic acid bacteria), so they have the function of the whole intestine.

Catechins can inhibit the bacteria that cause human skin diseases, and have a good effect on the treatment of eczema.

Catechin can remove the odor of methyl mercaptan, so it can remove the bad breath of smokers and reduce the odor of pig, chicken and human excrement.

In addition, some studies have shown that catechin also has the functions of lowering blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol (so it has the function of losing weight), anti-radiation and anti-mutation.

 

Product Description:

 

Catechin is a natural flavonoid that has various pharmacological activities, including anti-oxidation and anti-cancer. It can induce cell apoptosis and promote cell growth arrest through many intracellular pathways and has activities in vitro and in vivo. Catechins are richly present in black grapes, peaches, strawberries and broad beans. Catechins occur in various forms such as catechins, epicatechin, epicatechin gallate, epigallocatechin and epigallocatechin gallate. ALL Chemistry is proud to introduce a range of high-quality catechin products, offering multiple options to meet your various needs. Our catechin products are derived from premium tea leaves and undergo meticulous processing to ensure purity and effectiveness.

Our catechin products boast a variety of benefits and applications. Catechin hydrate has been used as a polyphenol standard in the determination of total polyphenols in the by-products of red wine, as an additive to study its effects on in vitro methane production and substrate degradation in a triple-fed batch approach. At ALL Chemistry, we prioritize quality and safety in our catechin products. We employ advanced extraction techniques to preserve the natural integrity and bioavailability of catechins, ensuring maximum efficacy. Our products are thoroughly tested for purity and potency, guaranteeing that you receive the highest-quality catechins.
