Quantificação de salicilato de metila em quatro gêneros de polygalaceae, por CLAE-DAD Translated title: Quantification of methyl salicylate in four genera of the Polygalaceae by HPLC-DAD

Translated abstract

Polygalaceae is represented in Brazil by ten genera and 191 species, of which the Polygala is the most representative, characterized by the occurrence of methyl salicylate. Seventeen species of Polygalaceae have been analyzed by HPLC-DAD and the technique proved to be selective, precise, accurate, and with low limits of quantification and detection. The analysis of plant material confirmed the presence of methyl salicylate, with concentration values ​​ranging from 14.1 a 126.9 µg/g.
