Kinotannic acid

Kinotannic acid is the chief constituent of the kino gum, of which it contains 70 to 80 per cent. Kino also contains kino red, a phlobaphene produced from kinotannic acid by oxidation.[2] It is closely related to the tannin from catechu; its non-glucosidal nature was established by Bergholz.[3][4]
