Class Overview

The word "flavonoid" comes from its Latin origin flavus (yellow), meaning yellow-ish. It comes from its history as yellow natural dye (quercetin and kaempferol are the most widespread flavone dyes. See flavone).

In chemistry terms, it is a class of plant secondary metabolites that have two benzene rings (each called A-ring and B-ring) connected by a chain of three carbons (Figure 1). The carbon chain, corresponding to the numbers 2,3,4 in Figure 1, is linked to a hydroxyl group in the A-ring to form the C-ring. The class of flavonoids are usually determined by the modification pattern of the C-ring (Table 1).

Flavonoid is utilized in many industrial processes from pigments to food additives. Well known names include anthocyanin, catechin, flavan, and isoflavone.
