The flavonoid rich grain of buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench, Fam. Polygonaceae) is of high nutritional value. With the aim to improve its agronomic productivity, cultivars were crossed with the wild species F. homotropicum which, however, differs in its flavonoid content. The intention of this work was to determine the flavonoid composition in developed interspecific hybrids and to elucidate the proanthocyanidin structures. Seven compounds were purified from methanol extracts of buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) grains by Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography. Beside the procyanidin epicatechin-[4-8]-epicatechin-3-O-(3,4)-dimethylgallate the following propelargonidins were identified: epiafzelechin-[4-6]-epicatechin, epiafzelechin-[4-8]-epiafzelechin-[4-8]-epicatechin, epiafzelechin-[4-8]-epicatechin-3-O-(3,4-dimethyl)-gallate, epiafzelechin-[4-8]-epiafzelechin-[4-8]-epicatechin-3-O-(3,4-dimethyl)-gallate, epiafzelechin-[4-8]-epicatechin-3-O-4-methyl-gallate and epiafzelechin-[4-8]-epicatechin-p-OH-benzoate on the basis of HPLC and LC-MS/MS.
