title: Variation in the composition of the heartwood flavonoids of Prunus avium by on-column capillary gas chromatography.
abstract: A fast and simple extraction procedure, coupled with on-column gas chromatography, has been developed in order to investigate the relative amounts of flavonoids in individual trees within several homogeneous populations of Prunus avium. Eight known flavonoid aglycones were isolated from the heartwood of P. avium and multivariate analysis was employed in order to characterise population groups.
