Section 2.3.1), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR, usually as LC-NMR see Section 2.3.2), and less commonly, circular dichroism (CD) or capillary electrophoresis (CE) (Section 2.3.3). A useful overview of these techniques in flavonoid research has been given by de Rijke et al. (2006), and some specific applications in legume chemistry are... 

In this chapter, a brief overview of the chemistry and occurrence of plant flavonoids will be discussed, together with a review of the most common analytical methodologies applied for their identification and quantification in foods.
