[#Grape seed] - #Catechins and epicatechins are major constituents of #Grape seed extracts and the production of their bioactive metabolites is dependent on the presence of the microbiota - #Eggerthella lenta JCM 9979 was shown to facilitate the C-ring cleavage of epicatechins and #Catechins and the subsequent 4’-dehydroxylation to produce different intermediate metabolites.References Notes[ ]
