Abstract
Formaldehyde (as its dimedone adduct, formaldemethone) has been identi fied in the extracts of parts of European Turkey oak (Quercus cerris L .) by high performance liquid chromatography and from matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometric data. It has been estab lished that the level of measurable formaldehyde is increased in the a corns by soaking. In the early developmental stages of European Turkey oak, the level of formaldehyde is particularly high throughout in the endosperm tissue and is increased gradually in the root tissues.
