Alkylresorcinols in rye (Secale cereale L.) grains. I. Micromethod for determination of alkyl derivatives of resorcinol in rye grain

Abstract

A pure preparation of alkylresorcinol from rye grains was obtained by preparative thin-layer chromatography, which gave a UV spectrum characteristic for 5-n-alkylresorcinols and orcinol. This preparation served as standard in the elaboration of a micro method (for alkylresorcinols determination in acetone extract from rye grain. It was found that this method is suitable for selective determination of 5-n-alkylrezorcinols in acetone extracts from rye grains.
