Aqueous extracts of walnut (Juglans regia L.) leaves: quantitative analyses of hydroxycinnamic and chlorogenic acids

J Chromatogr Sci. 2018 Sep 1;56(8):753-760. doi: 10.1093/chromsci/bmy041.

Abstract

Identification of both hydroxycinnamic and chlorogenic acids present in aqueous extracts of walnut leaves (Juglans regia L.) were carried out by using, for the first time, standard compounds not commercially available for qualitative identification. In particular, in addition to caffeic, ferulic, p-coumaric and sinapic acids, cis and trans mono-caffeoylquinic, dicaffeoylquinic, mono-feruloylquinic and cis and trans mono-p-coumaroylquinic acid isomers were detected and quantified by Ultra High Pressure Liquid Chromatography and the seasonal variations of these secondary metabolites were investigated.
