This article throws light upon the top seven examples of flavnols. The examples are: 1. Myricetin 2. Quercetin 3. Kaempferol 4. Fissetin 5. Isorhamnetin. Flavnols Example # 1. Myricetin: Myricetin is a naturally-occurring flavonoid. It is commonly found in the form of glycosides, such as myricitrin. Sources: Grapes, berries, fruits, vegetables, and walnuts Functions: i.

In this article we will discuss about 1. Simple Plant Phenolics 2. Lignin 3. Flavonoids and 4. Tannins. Simple Plant Phenolics: The phenolic compounds which contain basic carbon skeleton as C6, C6 – C1, C6 - C2, C6 - C3 and C6 - C4 are sometimes grouped as simple phenolics. Many of these compounds occur in plants as secondary metabolites [...]
Let us make an in-depth study of the structure, distribution and role of isoprenoids (Terpenoids) as secondary metabolites in plants. 1. Monoterpenes (C10): These terpenes contain 10-C atoms and are built up of two iso- preneitnits. There structure may be (i) acyclic, (ii) cyclohexanoid (mono, bi or tricyclic) and (iii) cyclopentanoid. Monoterpenes are chiefly found in resin ducts in leaves, [...]
