lignan

As nouns the difference between lignan and fresh

is that lignan is (organic chemistry) any of a class of phenylpropanoid (propylbenzene) type of molecules found in essentially all plants, generally dimeric or higher order, and produced by secondary metabolic pathways branching off of aromatic amino acid biosynthesis, in some cases having associated antioxidant or estrogenic (phytoestrogenic) activities; having in common with lignin the phenylpropanoid monomers, where lignin is a random oxidative polymerization of the same while fresh is a rush of water, along a river or onto the land; a flood.

As an adjective fresh is

newly produced or obtained or fresh can be rude, cheeky, or inappropriate; presumptuous; disrespectful; forward.

As nouns the difference between lignan and ligan

is that lignan is (organic chemistry) any of a class of phenylpropanoid (propylbenzene) type of molecules found in essentially all plants, generally dimeric or higher order, and produced by secondary metabolic pathways branching off of aromatic amino acid biosynthesis, in some cases having associated antioxidant or estrogenic (phytoestrogenic) activities; having in common with lignin the phenylpropanoid monomers, where lignin is a random oxidative polymerization of the same while ligan is .

As nouns the difference between taxonomy and lignan

is that taxonomy is the science or the technique used to make a classification while lignan is (organic chemistry) any of a class of phenylpropanoid (propylbenzene) type of molecules found in essentially all plants, generally dimeric or higher order, and produced by secondary metabolic pathways branching off of aromatic amino acid biosynthesis, in some cases having associated antioxidant or estrogenic (phytoestrogenic) activities; having in common with lignin the phenylpropanoid monomers, where lignin is a random oxidative polymerization of the same.

As nouns the difference between lignan and enterolignan

is that lignan is any of a class of phenylpropanoid (propylbenzene) type of molecules found in essentially all plants, generally dimeric or higher order, and produced by secondary metabolic pathways branching off of aromatic amino acid biosynthesis, in some cases having associated antioxidant or estrogenic (phytoestrogenic) activities; having in common with lignin the phenylpropanoid monomers, where lignin is a random oxidative polymerization of the same while enterolignan is any lignan, formed from another by metabolism in the gut.
