prodelphinidin/trifolium

White clover flowers (Trifolium repens L.) contain an abundance of phenolics, namely cis- and trans-p-coumaric acid 4-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside, the 3-O-beta-D-galactopyranosides of myricetin, quercetin and kaempferol together with two new derivatives namely myricetin

The chemical characteristics of the purified procyanidin polymers of the flowers of the forage legume red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) were studied by (13)C NMR, acid-catalyzed degradation with benzyl mercaptan, and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). The (13)C NMR showed that the

Condensed tannins (CT) are highly desirable in forage as they sequester dietary protein and reduce bloat and methane emissions in ruminants. However, the widely used forage legume white clover (Trifolium repens) only produces CTs in flowers and trichomes and at levels too low to achieve
