Effect of malvidin-3-glucoside and epicatechin interaction on their ability to interact with salivary proline-rich proteins

The most relevant result was that epicatechin:mv-3-glc mixture presents a synergic effect toward the interaction with both PRPs when compared to individual polyphenols. Furthermore, was observed that epicatechin interaction was driven by hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions while mv-3-glc interaction was driven by electrostatic interactions.
