Ellagitannin
The
ellagitannins
are a diverse class of
hydrolyzable tannins
, a type of
polyphenol
formed primarily from the oxidative linkage of
galloyl
groups in
1,2,3,4,6-pentagalloyl glucose
. Ellagitannins differ from
gallotannins
, in that their
galloyl
groups are linked through C-C bonds, whereas the galloyl groups in gallotannins are linked by
depside
bonds.
