title: 5-n-Alkylresorcinols from grains of winter barley (Hordeum vulgare L.).
abstract: The resorcinolic lipid content and homologue composition of winter barley grains harvested at two field locations were evaluated. Depending on the crop location, the predominant alkylresorcinols identified were 1,3-dihydroxy-5-n-heneicosylbenzene or 1,3-dihydroxy-5-n-pentacosylbenzene. Both resorcinol concentration and their homologue profiles were diverse in samples harvested at different fields indicating a prevailing role of the environment upon the alkylresorcinol biosynthesis in cereals.
