Abstract:

In this paper we have analyzed the phytoestrogen content of Glycyrrhiza glabra roots harvested from four different locations in Syria. The presence of eight phytoestrogen compounds was simultaneously assessed through a LC-MS method, before and after hydrolysis. All tested extracts contain daidzein, daidzin, genistein, formononetin, ononin and coumestrol.
