“…The most basic phenolics quantification relies on the colorimetric Folin–Ciocalteu assay, but modern analytical tools have contributed to the provision of information on the complex structure of marine phenolics [ 21 , 22 ], usually with chromatographic, IR spectroscopic and NMR methods [ 9 , 10 , 23 , 24 ]. Advanced and coupled techniques such as HPLC–DAD–ESI/MS and UPLC–ESI–QTOF/MS analyses [ 5 , 7 , 20 , 25 , 26 ], LC–ESI–MS/MS [ 27 ], RRLC-ESI–MS [ 28 ], UPLC [ 29 ], UPLC–MS [ 25 ], UPLC–MS/MS TIC [ 4 ], 1 D and 2 D NMR techniques ( 13 C-NMR, COSY, TOCSY, NOESY, HSQC) [ 24 ], are required to unveil the highly diverse and complex chemical structure of marine phenolics. The development of strategies for simultaneous determination and quantification of the different phenolic subclasses is needed [ 20 ].…”
