Abstract

Seeds of Clerodendron trichotomum and Lindera obtusiloba were screened for organic acids. Free organic acids were solid-phase extracted using Chromosorb P from aqueous extract of the seed powder. Organic acids were then converted to tert.-buthldimethylsilyl derivatives with subsequent analysis by dual-capillary gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. More than twenty organic acids were tentatively identified.
