New Method Enables Structural Determination of Diverse Phenolic Compounds from a Tiny Alpine Flower Sample
Hyuga Hirano (United Graduate School of Agricultural Science, Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, and collaborative graduate student at the National Museum of Nature and Science (President: Makoto Manabe)); Takashi Kikuchi (Application Laboratories, Global Product Unit, Rigaku Corporation, a group company of Rigaku Holdings); Futa Sakakibara (Technical Advisor, R&D Support Division, Asterism G.K.); Yoshinori Murai (Senior curator, Department of Botany, National Museum of Nature and Science); and colleagues have successfully determined the structures of more than ten phenolic glycosides from a tiny sample of an alpine plant flower by developing a trace analysis method.
