Summary
The aim of this work was to contribute to the phytochemical characterization ofCichorium intybus L. var.silvestre, chicory. Semi-preparative HPLC analysis was applied to an extract of fresh wild chicory leaves to separate and collect the main polyphenolic compounds.
HPLC-diode-array detection (DAD), HPLC-MS, and NMR were used for the complete chemical characterization of all the compounds isolated. The molecules characterized were monocaffeoyl tartaric acid, chicoric acid, monocaffeolyp-hydroxycinnamoyl tartaric acid, caffeoyl feruloyl tartaric acid, chlorogenic acid, quercetin-3-O-glucuronide, luteolin-7-O-glucuronide, and quercetin-3-O-glucoside.
The chromatographic behaviour of the main components of the extract of the leaves has been compared on three different stationary phases-LiChrosorb RP18, Luna C18, and Luna Phenyl-Hexyl.
