✦ Synopsis
This paper reviews the occurrence in foods of ¯avanones, chalcones and dihydrochalcones. The major dietary sources of ¯avanones and dihydrochalcones are citrus fruits and apples respectively. These compounds may make a greater contribution to the total daily intake of ¯avonoids than the more extensively studied ¯avonols. There are no data for plasma or tissue levels, but both endogenous and gut ¯ora metabolites of both classes of compound are found in urine. For these reasons, these compounds deserve greater attention in epidemiological studies.

The occurrence of ellagitannins in common foodstuffs is limited to a few fruit and nut species. Dietary intake of ellagitannins is largely explained by the consumption of strawberries, raspberries and blackberries. No reliable ®gures are available for the ellagitannin burden, but it will probably no
Quantitative data for hydroxybenzoic acids (naturally occurring and permitted additives) and their conjugates in foods and beverages are summarised. Tea, rosaceous fruits, red wines and potatoes are important sources for which more comprehensive compositional data are required. Their absorption, met
Total ¯avonol and ¯avone contents of foods have been determined with validated state-ofthe-art methods. Quercetin dominates, and ¯avonol levels found in vegetables and fruits are below 10 mg kg À1 . However, high concentrations are found in onions (300 mg kg À1 ), kale (450 mg kg À1 ), broccoli (100
