CBS 115, 13-15 (2015). HPTLC of Java tea (Orthosiphon species) and standards rhamnazin, apigenin-4,5,7-trimethylether, 6-methoxyluteolin, luteolin tetramethylether, scutellarein tetramethylether, tangeretin,_x000D_ eupatorin, eupatorin-5-methylether, and sinensetin on silica gel with toluene – ethyl acetate – methanol 11:8:1 with chamber saturation for 20 min to the migration distance of 70 mm. Detection under UV 254 nm and 366 nm. Densitometric evaluation by absorbance measurement at 254 nm. Elution of zones with TLC-MS Interface into a single mass spectrometer. Together with the already established sinensetin, scutellarein tetramethylether, eupatorin, and eupatorin-5-methylether were determined as specific markers suitable for the identification of Orthosiphon aristatus (Blume) Miq. by HPTLC. The presence of these four markers in the flavonoid profile is specific for Java tea.

J. Chromatogr. A 1432, 140-144 (2016). 2-Aminoacetophenone (AAP) is closely correlated with the appearance of the sensory phenomenon of untypical aging off-flavor (UTA) in wine and is generally analyzed by GC/MS after being extracted from wines by liquid-liquid, solid-liquid or solid phase microextraction. Presentation of a rapid, selective and sensitive method for the determination of AAP in wine by HPTLC of the extracts, obtained by liquid-liquid extraction with t-butyl methyl ether followed by a basic cleanup, on amino layer with methylene chloride – toluene 7:3. Detection by dipping into n-hexane-paraffin solution and quantification by densitometry at 366/>400 nm using 2-amino-4-methoxyacetophenone as internal standard. The LOD and LOQ were 0.1 and 0.3 μg/L, respectively. The recovery was near 100 % for model, white and red wines, while AAP concentrations were >0.5 μg/L in UTA. The results indicated that the method enables the analysis of AAP in wines clearly below the odor thresholds and represents a rapid and convenient screening alternative to existing GC/MS methods.

The LOD and LOQ were 95 and 268 ng/zone. Average recovery was 100.0%.

Phytochemistry. 130, 22-46 (2016). The review describes 141 steroidal saponins and sapogenins from the genus Agave reported in the literature from 1970 to 2015. It is a comprehensive review of structures, methods of chemical profiling, including the application of TLC and 2D-TLC for the analysis of saponins and sapogenins, and HPTLC for the determination of hecogenin.
