Abstract

Ninety-two different phenol-containing plant extracts were recently screened and beetroot peel was shown to have the second-highest dry weight concentration of total phenols. 1. and 6. Structural characterisation of these compounds is necessary in order to rationalise their mode of action. Kujala et al. recently isolated a highly unstable phenolic compound from the peel of the red beetroot (Beta vulgaris), and proposed its structure to be 5,5′,6,6′-tetrahydroxy-3,3 ...
