We measured the level of flavonoid and phenolic compounds in the olive leaf but flavonoid compounds were higher than phenolic compounds while in the literature flavonoid compounds were lower than phenolic compounds. We want to know that this can be correct?
The terrible world of the organic compounds and the enzyme activities.
Se have the same problem... We observed a very clear phenotype, with very clear differences between water parameters, biomass measures, and LiCOR values, but ... When we analyzed nitrogen and carbon metabolism including compounds and enzyme activities... Nothing had sense.
I can't help you, but I wish you Will be able to solve this mistery in Olea
Well i did the same work on argan leaves, determinating the TPC and TFC with colorimetric methods, and found higher phenols than flavonoids.
Normally flavonoids are less than phenols because flavonoids are just a class of phenols, i think you have a problem with the reagents concentrations or with calculations, contact me on private message to discuss that, i hope i can help you.
Flavrnoids are subgroup of phenolic compounds. You must focus in the lecture to see if their any metabolic bathway consumed phenol content. Also make this test again to be sure about your results
