Phytochemical Reference Materials and Research Tools

Phytochemicals comprise a number of secondary metabolites derived from plants that can be grouped into six broad categories: carbohydrates, lipids, phenolics, terpenoids, alkaloids, and other nitrogen-containing compounds.

They pose a particularly interesting analytical challenge because some can deliver health benefits, and are therefore used in functional foods and nutraceuticals, while others are known to be toxic or harmful.
