Flavoglycans: Evidence for Covalent Proanthocyanidin–Polysaccharide Linkages in Western Redcedar Bark

Abstract We investigated covalent linkages between proanthocyanidins (PAs) and cell wall polysaccharides in western redcedar bark (Thuja plicata Donn), a tannin-rich forestry co-product that has potential as a functional food ingredient. An alcohol-insoluble residue (AIR; 1.0% w/...
