Abstract

Phenolics are an important class of natural products that have received immense interest for their remarkable biological activities. These are widely distributed in the plant kingdom. Nowadays, increasing attention is paid on rapid identification and characterization of phenolic acids from natural sources. This chapter particularly emphasizes on the diverse mass spectrometric application for the detection of phenolic acids, and several aspects related to fragmentation behavior of phenolic acids are discussed.
