Abstract

The polyphenols of arecanut have been examined by use of paper chromatography and specific spray reagents. Besides (+)-catechin and leucocyanidin, a monomeric and some polymeric leucocyanidins have been shown to be present. The data on the high yield of the cyanidin from the polymeric compounds suggest that they contain readily cleavable linkages. Quantitative estimation of the different components shows a preponderance of the polymeric flavan-3 : 4-diols yielding cyanidin.
