Determination of Ellagic Acid, Punicalagin, and Castalagin from Terminalia ferdinandiana (Kakadu plum) by a Validated UHPLC-PDA-MS/MS Methodology

Saleha Akter et al.

Summary: Punicalagin, a bioactive compound in pomegranate, has antioxidant properties, while ellagic acid is a natural antioxidant found in Kakadu plum. An UHPLC-MS/MS method was developed to accurately measure ellagic acid levels in Kakadu plum fruits and leaves. The findings suggest the potential use of Kakadu plum extracts as natural preservatives in the food industry.
