Abstract
A technique for the mass spectrometric analysis of anthocyanins, 3-hyd roxyanthocyanidins and 3-deoxyanthocyanidins in Sorghum bicolor by pla sma desorption was developed. Sensitivities to ng levels with minimum sample preparation and analysis were achieved. The technique provides a sensitive means for the measurement of these flavonoid pigments as w ell as a means to screen for very small quantities of the compounds wi thin plant tissues.
