Theogallin is a trihydroxybenzoic acid glycoside, a type of polyphenolic compound found in tea[1] where it has been characterised as an umami enhancing compound.[2] The compound can also be found in Arbutus unedo fruits.[3]
In rats, theogallin, or its metabolite quinic acid, can move through the blood–brain barrier and can have cognition enhancing activities.[4]
