Abstract
The analytical methods for the determination of phytoestrogenic compounds in edible plants, plant products and biological matrices are reviewed. The detection, qualitative and quantitative methods based on different chromatographic separations of gas chromatography (GC), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and capillary electrophoresis (CE) coupled with various detections by ultraviolet absorption (UV), electrochemical detection (ED), fluorescence detection, mass spectrometry (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), as well as non-chromatographic immunoassay are each extensively examined and compared. An overview on phytoestrogen chemistry, bioactivities and health effects, plant precursors, metabolism and sample preparation is also presented.
