Abstract

The distribution of polyoxygenated flavones in the subgroup microcarpa of the genus Citrus was examined by the use of high-performance liquid chromatography. 3', 4', 5, 6, 7, 8-Hexamethoxy-4', 5, 6, 7, 8-pentamethoxy-and 3', 4', 5, 6, 7-pentamethoxyflavone were detected in all species of the subgroup and their contents in the fruit peels were quantitated.
