Quantification of tannins and related polyphenols in commercial products of tormentil (Potentilla tormentilla)
Preclinical
Abstract
Commercial tormentil (Potentilla erecta) rhizomes and tinctures were analysed for polyphenols, showing a high content of condensed and hydrolysable tannins (over 20% in rhizomes), with procyanidins B3 and C2, agrimoniin, galloylquinic acids and catechin as main components, underpinning the astringent activity of the herb.
