solubility of hesperidin[edit]
The first paragraph states that hesperidin is water-soluble but the next paragraph states that it is insoluble! 69.72.92.189 (talk) 08:17, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
- One of the cited references supports the insoluble claim, so I have removed the water-soluble claim. Thanks for catching the problem and reporting it here. -- Ed (Edgar181) 12:04, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
incorrect structural figure[edit]
I think the structure in the figure in incorrect. In the figure, the functional groups attached to B-ring are in different position compared to figures in https://www.drugbank.ca/drugs/DB01094 and https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/hesperetin#section=Top.
When drugbank and pubchem figures are rotated so that the B-ring points outwards from the paper, OH-group will be pointing upward and methoxy group to the top-right-corner from the B-ring. This would be congruent with the text in the first chapter stating that "Hesperetin is the 4'-methoxy derivative of eriodictyol, a flavanone."

- The images that you are comparing actually depict the same chemical compounds. The ring containing the -OH group and the methoxy group can freely rotate, making the two equivalent. They are in effect different conformations of the same chemical compound. -- Ed (Edgar181) 16:31, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
