✦ Synopsis

Pneumatically assisted electrospray (ionspray) coupled with liquid chromatography was applied in the identiÐcation of antioxidants present in traces in the leaves of Olea europea L. cv. Cassanese, a typical olive tree from the northeastern part of Calabria region in Italy. The structures of these potential biomarkers were evaluated with reference to established mass spectrometric rules or, in one case, by matching the tandem mass spectrum of the unknown with that of an authentic sample obtained by synthesis.
