[edit] Tannins/Tannic acid

I was looking to include the polyphenolic tannins Punicalagins, as found in pomegranate, but I'm not sure whether to add tannins as a subcategory under Phenolic acids category, since Tannic acid is already listed here, or whether to list it in the main Phenolic acid category. My problem is that I'm not sure how many of the other listed phenolic acids are tannins, so I can't rearrange the category accurately.Jddriessen 18:41, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] move/proposed merge

A user suggested this be merged into List of antioxidants in food. I don't have any opinion on the merge, but I just moved this page from List of phytochemicals and foods in which they are prominent to List of phytochemicals in food, a more reasonable title.

[edit] Better than a list!

A table would be much better, with chemical, checkmark-able properties like antioxidant, anti-cancer, hepatoprotective, antifungal, antibacterial, antiviral, that way both lists could be merged into one better list. Doseiai2 (talk) 16:44, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
