Colorimetric determination of caffeic acid in plant materials.

A new colorimetric method is described for determining caffeic acid content in plant materials. Caffeic acid is separated by thin layer chromatography from the alcoholic extract, and color is developed using 0.5% aqueous thiosemicarbazide solution under alkaline conditions. The absorbance is read at 475 nm. Lambert-Beer's law is obeyed in the concentration range 0.37-17.5 micrograms caffeic acid/mL. The method is reproducible and has been applied to the estimation of caffeic acid in carrot roots.[1]
