This long awaited third edition of Phytochemical Methods is, as its
predecessors, a key tool for undergraduates, research workers in
plant biochemistry, plant taxonomists and any researchers in
related areas where the analysis of organic plant components is key
to their investigations. Phytochemistry is a rapidly expanding area
with new techniques being developed and existing ones perfected and
made easier to incorporate as standard methods in the laboratory.
This latest edition includes descriptions of the most up-to-date
methods such as HPLC and the increasingly sophisticated NMR and
related spectral techniques. Other methods described are the use of
NMR to locate substances within the plant cell and the chiral
separation of essential oils. After an introductory chapter on
methods of plant analysis, individual chapters describe methods of
identifying the different type of plant molecules: phenolic
compounds, terpenoids, organic acids, lipids and related compounds,
nitrogen compounds, sugar and derivatives and macromolecules.
Different methods are discussed and recommended, and guidance
provided for the analysis of compounds of special physiological
relevance such as endogenous growth regulators, substances of
pharmacological interest and screening methods for the detection of
substances for taxonomic purposes. It also includes an important
bibliographic guide to specialized texts. This comprehensive book
constitutes a unique and indispensable practical guide for any
phytochemistry or related laboratory, and provides hands-on
description of experimental techniques so that students and
researchers can become familiar with these invaluable methods.
