Structural Determination of Flavonoids Using MSn

Instrument Type: LCMSMS

Flavonoids, a class of polyphenolic compounds found in tea, plants and many fruits, have shown some promising results related to anti-cancer as well as anti-inflammatory and anti-allergy properties. For these reasons, there has been renewed interest in both detecting and characterizing these compounds. We demonstrate the utility of MSn for structural determination and unambiguous classification of a suspected flavonoid compound and unambiguous determination of product origin.
