Does green tea contain epicatechin?
The major bioflavonoids in green tea are epicatechins. Like all bioflavonoids, the tea catechins have three hydrocarbon rings; hydroxyl molecules are found at the 3, 5, and 7 positions (Fig. 2). The four major tea catechins are epicatechin (EC), EC 3-gallate (ECG), epigallocatechin (EGC) and EGC 3-gallate (EGCG).
