Thin Layer Chromatography in Phytochemistry

Worldwide TLC experts in diverse fields present the first resource to focus on TLC as it applies to the separation, identification, quantification, and isolation of medicinal plant components. Part I offers a current overview of TLC and phytochemistry. Part II emphasizes real strategies and procedures for analyzing all types of primary and secondary plant metabolites. Organized by compound type, each chapter discusses key topics such as sample preparation, plate development, and biodetection. From identification to commercial scale production and quality control, this text is an essential bench-top companion and reference on using TLC for the study of plant-based bioactive compounds.
