Degradation of black tea theaflavin through C-ring cleavage by gut microbiota by Shuwei Zhang, Christina Ohland, Christian Jobin, Shengmin Sang

“…The detection of DH-TF from the anaerobic incubation of TF with catechin-converting gut bacteria, Eggerthella lenta (Eggerth), suggested that the microbes with the capacity to cleave the C-ring of catechins were able to metabolize TF following the same mechanism. Additionally, three small phenolic metabolites were detected in mouse feces, and one of them was primarily detected in SPF mice not GF mice, which revealed that TF, subsequent to the cleaved C-ring, can be further metabolized into smaller phenolic metabolites by gut microbiota. …”
