Can someone recommend a lab in Europe to quantify constituents of Arctostaphylos uva-ursi leaves, especially arbutin (Arb) content?

09 September 2016 1 7K Report

In the last 4 year we have investigated distribution and growh of Arctostaphylos uva-ursi in Albania. We would like to quantify the contents of arbutin (Arb) in its leaves in different months of the harvesting season. We are not aware of a lab nearby Albania which would offer this as a service.

We are also open to publish together if someone is interested in such research and would like to carry out the analysis in their research lab. This can lead to scientific cooperation in the future.

Kind regards!

T. Thomai

I will discuss with my colleagues of biotechnology department and biochemistry department of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (I have cooperate on fruit allergens) to see the possibility to carry out this analysis.

best regards
