Gallotannin
A gallotannin is any of a class of molecules belonging to the hydrolysable tannins. Gallotannins are polymers formed when gallic acid, a polyphenol monomer, esterifies and binds with the hydroxyl group of a polyol carbohydrate such as glucose. Metabolism Gallate 1-beta-glucosyltransferase uses UDP-glucose and gallate to produce UDP and 1-galloyl-beta-D-glucose. Beta-glucogallin O-galloyltransferase uses 1-O-galloyl-beta-D-glucose to produce D-glucose and 1-O,6-O-digalloyl-beta-D-glucose. Beta-glucogallin-tetrakisgalloylglucose O-galloyltransferase uses 1-O-galloyl-beta-D-glucose and 1,2,3,6-tetrakis-O-galloyl-beta-D-glucose to produce D-glucose and 1,2,3,4,6-pentakis-O-galloyl-beta-D-glucose (1,2,3,4,6-penta-O-galloyl-β-D-glucose, the common precursor of gallotannins and the related ellagitannins). Tannase is a key enzyme in the degradation of gallotannins that uses digallic acid and H2O to produce gallic acid. See also * List of antioxidants in food This is a list of ...

Cornus Officinalis
''Cornus officinalis'', the Japanese cornel or Japanese cornelian cherry, is a species of flowering plant in the dogwood family Cornaceae. Despite its name, it is native to China and Korea as well as Japan. It is not to be confused with '' C. mas'', which is also known as the Cornelian cherry. It is not closely related to the true cherries of the genus ''Prunus''. Description It is a large, strongly-growing deciduous shrub with rough flaky bark. Umbels of acid yellow flowers appear in early spring before the oval leaves. The red berries, which are edible, appear later in the summer, and the leaves turn shades of red before falling in the autumn. Etymology In Korean it is known as ''sansuyu'' (), in Chinese as () and in Japanese as . The Latin specific epithet ''officinalis'' refers to plants which have some medicinal or culinary use - in this case the edible berries. Cultivation The plant is valued in cultivation for providing year-round interest in the garden. It is, howeve ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
