Flavonoids Content Testing in Pollen

Flavonoids Content Testing in Pollen

Flavonoids are a series of polyphenolic compounds produced by the metabolism of phenylalanine and are involved in important roles in physiological processes in plants, such as root growth, flower pollination, pathogenic bacteria, and UV stress. Flavonoids in pollen are one of its essential nutrients, with a total content of 0.12% to 9.08%. Natural flavonoids are mostly found in glycosides, consisting of one or more hydroxyl groups of the main sugar molecule linked to a non-sugar molecule by a hemiacetal bond. Different flavonoid glycosides can be formed depending on the number of sugar molecules, the location of the linkage, and the mode of attachment. Flavonoids have antioxidant, antitumor, antibacterial, antiviral, hypolipidemic, immune boosting, liver protection, and other health care effects.

Flavonoids Content Testing in Pollen

1. Sample Requirements

  • Fresh flowers, >5g;
  • Pollen from fresh flowers or dried pollen from different families, >1g.

*Quick freeze storage with liquid nitrogen minimizes leakage time of plant samples at room temperature.

*Experimental samples are non-returnable; please make your backups. Control and experimental groups need to be set up prior to sampling, and it is recommended to have more than 3 replicates per group.

*No restrictions are placed on plant species. For species with special requirements or rare species, please contact our staff for more information.

*For experiments requiring special testing, please feel free to contact our staff for a bespoke testing service.

2. HPLC-MS

Our high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS) based method is highly sensitive, accurate and high throughput, providing you with the most trustworthy results for flavonoid content analysis.
