This is clearly much more prevalent in grapefruit juice - but how prevalent? Are we talking ten times the concentration, a thousand times the concentration, in other citrus? Shimgray | talk | 14:20, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Grapefuit Juice contents about 2-10mg Dihydroxybergamottin per kg, which is the most important substance for inhibition of the First-Pass-Effect.

Stinging nettle

Is there anybody who knows if the information is right that stinging nettle contents bergamottin/dihydroxybergamottin too? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.181.30.189 (talk) 13:22, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Error in the biosynthesis diagram?

In the biosynthesis diagram currently in the article (File:Bergamottin_biosynthesis.svg), the final product ("8, bergamottin") is shown as being derived from bergapten (7). But it seems to be that it would make much more sense if it were derived from bergaptol (6). If 7 were to be converted to 8 it would first have to undergo demethylation back to 6 anyway - the methylation/demethylation sequence is entirely superfluous.
