Concentration (μM) of microbial dimeric metabolites (Figure 2) identified in the cranberry extract during the 48 h fermentation period. Data are reported as mean ± SEM. (**) indicates significant differences (p < 0.05) between concentrations of metabolites produced from either healthy (solid line) or ulcerative colitis (dashed line) fecal donors. (*) indicates that p < 0.10. Procyanidin A2 dimeric microbial metabolite (m/z 577) (A) and procyanidin B2 dimeric microbial metabolite (m/z 579) (B).
