MALDI–TOF mass spectrometry of polyflavonoid tannins

Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-of-Flight (MALDI–TOF) appears to be a suitable method for examining polyflavonoid tannin oligomers. It appears capable to determine aspects of the structure and characteristics of polyflavonoid tannins, which are otherwise too difficult to determine by other techniques. It has been possible to determine by MALDI–TOF for the two major industrial polyflavonoid tannins which exist, namely mimosa and...
