Abstract (EN):
Ion trap HPLC-PAD-ESI/MS/MS has been used to study C-glycosyl flavones in quince seeds. Comparative analysis of the ions [(M-H)-60](-), [(M-H)-90](-) and [(M-H)-120](-) from 6-C- and 8-C-glycosyl flavone isomers, together with their respective retention times, allowed deductions to be made about the nature of the sugar units and the positions of C-glycosylation. Vicenin-2 (6,8-di-C-glucosyl apigenin), lucenin-2 (6,8-di-C-glucosyl luteolin), stellarin-2 (6,8-di-C-glucosyl chrysoeriol), isoschaftoside (6-C-arabinosyl-8-C-glucosyl apigenin), schaftoside (6-C-glucosyl-8-C-arabinosyl apigenin), 6-C-pentosyl-8-C-glucosyl chrysoeriol and 6-C-glucosyl-8-C-pentosyl chrysoeriol were identified in quince seed.
