Summary: | Charles University Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Analytical Chemistry Candidate: Bc. Kristýna Šilhavá Supervisor: doc. RNDr. Dalibor Šatínský, Ph.D. Consultant: Mgr. Anežka Adamcová Title of Diploma Thesis: Monitoring the profile of phenolic substances in different parts of apple trees by HPLC This diploma thesis covers the performance of a quantitative analysis of phenolic compounds in ten different cultivars in Malus. Specifically, the presence of phloridzin, phloretin, rutin, quercitrin and chlorogenic acid was monitored. Extracts of buds, flowers, leaves and bark in each species were analyzed during the four different vegetation periods. Further, the presence of phenolic compounds in samples of wood chips and fruits was monitored. The determined analytes displayed a different content profile depending on the plant material, apple cultivar and the period in which they were collected. Except for fruits, phloridzin was the dominant component in all varieties and in all materials. The highest total concentration of phenolic compounds was found in the leaves in the spring March-April 2020 in species 'Rubinstep'. This diploma thesis used a developed and validated HPLC-DAD method for a large number of extracts. A YMC-Triart C18 ExRS column (150 × 4.6 mm × 5 µm, 8 nm) was chosen...
