Identification of plant-derived polyphenols in bones and bone model. (a) Relative ion abundances for the 5 metabolites identified from our in house ‘polyphenol database’ across the 5 Sardinian bones extracts (error bars st. dev; n = 3). (b) PCA scores plot shows samples cluster into dietary groups based on their compound feature composition. (c) Table showing the calculated amount of urolithin A in each of the five Sardinian pig bone samples (NF-not found) (mean values n = 5). (d) A list of percentage binding to hydroxyapatite (HAP), for polyphenolic compounds chosen to demonstrate a range of molecular weights and structures. Further details along with compound structures provided in an expanded table in SI (Supplementary Fig. 6 and Table 3).
