## Abstract The catabolism by human faecal microbiota of (–)‐epicatechin (**1**) (2, 3‐__cis__ stereochemistry) and its dimer pure procyanidin B2 (**2**), has been compared using a static __in vitro__ culture model. The catabolites were characterised by LC‐MS__^n^__, UV absorption and relative rete
