Phloretin [3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-(2,4,6-trihydroxyphenyl)propan1-one] is a hydrophobic, dihydrochalcone, polyphenolic compound (MW 274.3 g/mol, XlogP 2.6) that has been identified in apples and other natural sources including Pieris japonica, Kalmia latifolia, Hoveniae Lignum, and Loiseleuria procumbens [1-6] (Figure 1). Phloridzin is the glycoside of phloretin (phloretin-2’-glucose) which has ...

The occurrence of triterpene pentacyclic acids in plants is extensive, but little is known about their availability in commercial extracts. A simple GC-MS method for the simultaneous determination of betulinic, corosolic, maslinic, oleanolic and ursolic acids was developed and applied to 38 different commercial plant extracts sold as ingredients for dietary supplements. A suitable protocol was ...
