Unique distribution of ellagitannins in ripe strawberry fruit revealed by mass spectrometry imaging
Ellagitannins (ETs) are hydrolysable tannins composed of a polyol core, primarily glucose, which is esterified with hexahydroxydiphenic acid (HHDP), and in some cases, gallic acid. ETs are the major phenolic compounds found in strawberries and may contribute to the health-related properties of straw...

Ellagitannins (ETs) are hydrolysable tannins composed of a polyol core, primarily glucose, which is esterified with hexahydroxydiphenic acid (HHDP), and in some cases, gallic acid.
