GLYCOSIDES & TANNINS Flashcards
Glycosides occurs in what form in plants
Beta form
Components of glycosides and activity
Glycone : inactive form as vehicle
Aglycone : active form, genin basis for classification
Unsaturated steroidal aglycone tests:
Liebermann-Burchard : + blue/green, yellow for saturated
Salkowski’s test : +red/violet
2 deoxy sugar glycone test
Keller Killani : +reddish brown
