Abstract

The analysis of the fractions of free and liberated by hydrolysis phenolic acids in the fruits and the leaves of Pyracantha coccinea was conducted by TLC and RP-HPLC methods. In the fruits eight and in the leaves thirteen phenolic acids were identified. By means of the RP-HPLC method the content of major acids was estimated, which ranges from 0.002 up to 17.38 mg/100 g of the dry material. Protocatechuic acid is a remarkably dominating constituent of both plant materials.
