Reversed-phase HPLC is the method of choice for the quantitative analysis of procyanidins. In view of the known instability of procyanidins and the problem of developing suitable sample clean up procedures direct analysis of crude extracts is probably the best approach for quantitation. However, the separation capacity of HPLC in combination with the most commonly used UV detection at 280 nm is generally insufficient to generate useful quantitative results. Direct chromatographic determination of procyanidins in qualitative analysis has been frequently performed for example in the analysis of wine [168,252], beer [32], grape seeds [28], rhizomes of tormentil (Potentilla tormentilla) [253], Sesbania sesban...

Rapid litter decay (1 to 3 weeks) where tree biomass is used to provide nutrients to associated crops (e.g. Leucaena kucocephala, Sesbania sesban, Gliricidia sepium) or slow decay (2 to 6 months) when tree biomass is used as mulch for weed suppression and soil protection (e.g. Inga edulis and Flemingia macrophylla).
