“…TAX [(2R, 3R) 3, 3ʹ, 4ʹ, 5, 7-pentahydroxy flavan-4-one], also known as dihydroquercetin, is a flavanol compound found in conifers such as Pinus Roxburghe and Siberian larch as well as in plant-based foods such as vegetables, fruits, wine, tea, and cocoa. Interestingly, numerous studies have shown that TAX has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antidiabetic, and hepatoprotective effects ( Sun et al, 2014 ; Cai et al, 2018 ; Lektemur Alpan et al, 2020 ; Ahiskali et al, 2021 ). TAX has been approved as a novel food ingredient by many countries including the US, United Kingdom, European Commission, and China ( Ding et al, 2021 ).…”
