Supercritical Fluid Chromatography for the Analysis of Natural Products

  • Chapter
Modern Phytochemical Methods

Part of the book series: Recent Advances in Phytochemistry ((RAPT,volume 25))

Abstract

As with many branches of science, advances in the field of natural products research have always depended largely on the analytical methods available. The separation, identification, structure elucidation, and quantitation of components in phytochemical samples are all essential steps to the study of natural products chemistry. As a result, many of the advances in this field parallel the improvement of analytical methodologies.
