are more resistant towards acid, alkaline and enzyme hydrolysis than O-glucosides. Even prolonged exposure to acid does not cleave the glucosyl bond of C-glucosides, in which glucose is attached by a carbon–carbon bond to the aglycone, to give the aglycone. However, intestinal bacteria from human feces can cleave C-glucosyl bonds in various C-glucosides such as mangiferin, abrusin 2 -O-b-D-apio...
