P. Pietta et al., THERMOSPRAY LIQUID-CHROMATOGRAPHY MASS-SPECTROMETRY OF FLAVONOL GLYCOSIDES FROM MEDICINAL-PLANTS, Journal of chromatography, 661(1-2), 1994, pp. 121-126
High-performance liquid chromatography interfaced with thermospray mas
s spectrometry is described for the identification of various flavonol
glycosides from Ginkgo biloba, Calendula officinalis and Tilia cordat
a. Thermospray ionization gave parent species with few and diagnostic
fragment ions, thus allowing structure elucidation as well as discrimi
nation between different glycosylation sites.
