Flavonoids and polyphenols are widely distributed in medicinal plants and have positive health effects. The aim of this study were to determine the flavonoids and polyphenols with a spectrophotometrical and by an UHPLC-LC-MS/MS method [1].

Eighteen widely used medicinal plants were studied. Total flavonoids and total polyphenolics content were determined quantitatively by spectrophotometrical method from the methanolic and ethanolic (70⁰) extracts of plants. Additionally an UHPLC-LC-MS/MS method was developed for determination of seven standards from extracts. Detection was carried out in SRM mode (chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, quercitrin, luteolin, quercetin, apigenin, kaempferol)l.

Medicinal plants are a rich source of flavonoids and polyphenolics. The seven standard were detectabled in high concentration from Hyperici herba, Betulae folium and Potentillae herba [Fig.1.].

There are a wide variety of phenolics and flavonoids and the obtained antioxidant values confirms a high antioxidant capacities of extracts. For the determination of polyphenolic profile the developed UHPLC-DAD-QTOF-MS/MS method is fast and acceptable. Polyphenols may be developed in veterinary products and used for animals.
