Abstract
Sporopollenin was isolated and purified from pollen of the gymnospermae Tor reya californica using an enzymatic treatment followed by extraction with o rganic solvents. H-1-NMR (1D and 2D) was used for analysis of this biopolym er and reveals the presence of three phenolic compounds. Comparison with th e analysis of sporopollenin from the angiospermae Typha angustifolia L. sho ws high similarity between the aromatic compounds.
