Description

General description

Ellagic acid is a naturally occurring phenolic acid in many fruits and vegetables, as a secondary plant metabolite. It is commonly found in green tea, pomegranate, strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, and walnuts.

Application

Ellagic acid has been used:

to study the metabolism of dietary phenolic acids by Lactobacillus plantarum CECT 748T
as a potential substrate for the high production of Lactobacillus plantarum tannase
as a standard in the study to examine the phenolic components and anti-oxidant activity of nettle
to study the links between dietary ellagic acid and epigenetic modulation of adipogenesis

Biochem/physiol Actions

Ellagic acid has been found to exhibit antioxidant activity by virtue of having an inhibitory effect on the oxidation of low-density lipoproteins. This makes them have a cardioprotective effect on humans. In addition, it shows anticarcinogenic, antifibrotic, antiplasmodial, apoptotic, and chemopreventive activities as well.

Commonly occurring plant polyphenol, inhibitor of glutathione S-transferase. Used for the assay of factor XIIa in plasma. Contact activation in blood coagulation.
