UPLC ‐MS2 Profiling of Blackthorn Flower Polyphenols Isolated by Ultrasound‐Assisted Extraction

In this study, ultrasound ‐assisted extraction (UAE) was optimized in order to establish fast and effective method for production of crude blackthorn flower extract rich in polyphenols. UPLC‐MS2 analysis showed 28 different phenolic compounds belonging to the classes of hydroxycinnamic acids, flavonol glycosides, and flavanols with quercetin and kaempferol glycosides in the highest concentrations, implicating high potential of blackthorn flowers ’ extract for use in food and pharmaceutical industries.
