Abstract

Temperature programmed fractionation mass spectrometry can be used to quickly screen for the major constituents in plant and herbal tissues. The method is particularly useful if one is searching for a good plant source of a desired compound. It is also shown that simple extraction followed by mass spectrometry has no advantage over the quick screening method. Limitations and possible improvements of the method are discussed.
