J. Agric. Food Chem. 50, 1063-1069 (2002). TLC of proanthocyanidins and flavonoids (e.g. rutin and quercetin) on silica gel with ethyl acetate - methanol - water 79:11:10 and on cellulose with n-butanol - acetic acid - water 6:1:2 and acetic acid. Detection under UV or by spraying with vanillin - hydrochloric acid, dichromate or methanolic aluminium chloride solution followed by heating at 100°C.

J. Planar Chromatogr. 17, 32-35 (2004). HPTLC of e. g. genistin and daidzin on silica gel with chloroform - methanol - water 23:8:1. Quantitative determination at 260 nm. Detection limits were 25 ng; calculated mean percentage recovery was 99.4 %; standard deviation was 1.55; relative standard deviation was 1.56 %.

Planta Med. 70, 479-482 (2004). Analytical and preparative TLC of genistein and 7-O-alpha-rhamno(1-6)-beta-glucosylgenistein on silica gel with n-butanol - acetic acid - water 4:1:1, ethyl acetate - methanol - water 77:13:10, and ethyl acetate - methanol - acetic acid - water 13:3:4:3. Detection under UV at 254 nm and under 366 nm after spraying with 1 % methanolic diphenylboric acid beta-ethylamino ester (natural products reagent), followed by a 5 % ethanolic PEG 4000 solution.

International Journal of ChemTech Research 1(4), 931-936, (2009). TLC of quercetin in hydroalcoholic extracts of dried flower of Nymphaea stellata (Nymphaceae). Separation on silica gel with toluene - ethyl acetate - formic acid 25:20:1. The hRf value was 26. Densitometric evaluation at 380 nm. The method was linear in the range of 20-200 ng/band. The average recovery was 99.3 %.

J. Planar Chromatogr. 26, 452-454 (2013). Optimization of temperature and duration required for detection of terpene trilactones. TLC of ginkgolides A, B and C and bilobalide on silica gel with ethyl acetate - hexane 9:1. Detection by spraying with acetic anhydride followed by heating at 80, 100, 120 and 140 ºC. The formation of alpha, beta-unsaturated gamma-lactone from ginkgolides was detected even at low temperatures for a respective heating time.

Planta Medica 82(15), 1359-1367 (2016). The presence of hispidin (a styryl pyrone) and hispolon in a methanolic Soxhlet extract of powdered Inonotus hispidus was verified by TLC on silica gel with ethyl acetate – methanol - water 200:27:20. Detection under UV light before and after derivatization with Natural Product/PEG reagent, and with anisaldehyde sulfuric acid reagent (followed by heating for 5 min at 110 °C). The two phenolic compounds were confirmed and quantified by HPLC.

Planta Med. 83, 1035-1043 (2017). TLC on silica gel with detection with anisaldehyde or Kedde’s reagent, 1) with ethyl acetate to monitor the isolation of digitoxin, by flash chromatography, from a fraction of a methanolic extract of Digitalis lanata, 2) with ethyl acetate – dichloromethane 1:1 to monitor five different methods for the hemisynthesis (with silver oxyde and diphenylborinic acid) of glucoevatromonoside from evatromonoside, itself produced from digitoxin, 3) with ketone – methanol 19:1 to analyse the glucoevatromonoside produced by biotransformation of evatromonoside by the glycosyltransferase activity of suspension cell cultures of Digitalis lanata. Digitoxigenin was used as internal standard, using the methanol fraction of the cell lysates, either directly or after a purification by flash chromatography. Hemisynthesis was twice more efficient as biotransformation, but the yield did not reach 70%.
