“…The separated isoflavones including aglycones, glycosides and glycoside malonates, were individually analyzed and identified by their molecular ions and characteristic fragment ion peaks using LC-MS under MS and MS/MS mode, in comparison with the standard isoflavones (Wu et al 2003). Prokudina et al (2012) used UPLC-ESI-MS/MS for the quantitative and qualitative analysis of 26 phenolic compounds in plant material, including 15 isoflavonoids (daidzein, genistein, isoformononetin, formononetin, prunetin, biochanin A, daidzin, genistin, ononin, sissotrin), 2 prenylated Isoflavonoids(osajin, pomiferin), 5 flavones (apigenin, kaempferol, quercetin, quercetin-3-glucoside, rutin), 4 flavanones (hesperetin, naringenin, naringenin-7-glucoside, naringin), a coumestan (coumestrol) and a coumarin (scopoletin). The application of this method was also demonstrated by the analysis of mung bean (Vigna radiata) sprout extract, in which 14 of the 26 analytes were detected and quantified (Prokudina et al 2012).…”
