Phenolic Content and l-Phenylalanine Ammonia-Lyase Activity in Peach Fruit

  • Chapter
Fruit Analysis

Part of the book series: Modern Methods of Plant Analysis ((MOLMETHPLANT,volume 18))

Abstract

There are a wide variety of secondary metabolites of phenolic compounds found throughout the plant kingdom. They are important not only physiologically but also pathologically. Some phenolic compounds such as tannins have pharmacological and emollient properties and are used therapeutically or for the tanning of leather. Numerous studies of the quantitative and qualitative variations in phenolic compounds from various higher plants have been undertaken.
