Development and Analysis of Analytical Methods for Determination of Catechins and Quercetin in Natural Products: A Review
Abstract
Catechins are polyphenolic compounds that have the potential as an antioxidant and antibacterial as well as safe for use in food processing, and the physicochemical properties of the catechins may be a drug dosage formulations. Catechins can be used for pharmaceutical preparations. Catechins are a group of secondary metabolites that are naturally produced by plants and are included in the flavonoid group while quercetin is a flavonoid compound that was found in many vegetables and fruits.In addition to having a very strong antioxidant activity, quercetin also has other biological activities such as antiviral, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and also can serve as a hypo-allergenic, and hypertension. In addition, quercetin was also used for a number of pharmacological activities such as diabetes and wound healing drugs. Several studies have shown that quercetin has significant activity in inhibiting some cancer cells such as breast, prostate, colon, and lung. Catechins and quercetin has been widely used in Indonesia for treatment. Over the years, a variety of analytical methods have been developed.This review focuses on the latest developments in analytical techniques to analyze catechin and quercetin contained in the products of natural materials. This review provides some insight into the analytic methods, UV-Vis Spectrophotometry, High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), Mass Spectrometry High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC-MS), Liquid…
