Methods of Plant Analysis

  • Chapter
Phytochemical Methods

Abstract

The subject of phytochemistry, or plant chemistry, has developed in recent years as a distinct discipline, somewhere in between natural product organic chemistry and plant biochemistry and is closely related to both. It is concerned with the enormous variety of organic substances that are elaborated and accumulated by plants and deals with the chemical structures of these substances, their biosynthesis, turnover and metabolism, their natural distribution and their biological function.
