| Application: | • 4-(Dimethylamino)cinnam • It has been used for the detection of (epi)-flavan-3-ols and proanthocyanidin polymers in Brassica napus seeds. • It has been used for the determination of phenolic compounds in leaf samples. • It has been used for the staining of flavan-3-ols in plant samples. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Reagent for assay of indole product of apotryptophanase and tryptophanase. DMAC produces colored adducts with flavanols for subsequent HPLC. It has been used in a chromogenic method for quantifying proanthocyandines in cranberry powder. |
