High Performance Liquid Chromatography in Phytochemical Analysis

This volume is the first book to give a complete description of the techniques, materials, and instrumentation of column HPLC and its application to essentially all primary and secondary plant metabolites. It describes the techniques and instrumentation of HPLC analysis, such as HPLC/nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry, HPLC with photodiode array detection, and HPLC chiral analysis. It explores the application of HPLC to primary and secondary plant metabolites and discusses how HPLC is used for analyzing herbal drugs and dietary supplements.
