Specification
(-)-Epigallocatechin gallate , its cas register number is 989-51-5. It also can be called Epigallocatechin-3-gallate ; EGCG cpd ; and Epigallocatechin gallate . It is the most abundant catechin in most notably tea. It is found in green tea but not black tea, as EGCG is converted into thearubigins in black teas.
