“…To check for existing phenolic compounds in the leaves and roots of the tested plant, some standards were selected, obtained from Sigma-Aldrich and AcrosOrganics, to compare them with the compounds present. The secondary compounds utilized in this study were chosen according to their participation in allelopathic phenomena described in literature (Santos & Rezende, 2008;Oliveira et al, 2014;Fiorenza et al, 2016;Franco et al, 2016;Peloi et al, 2016;Pereira et al, 2018), namely: gallic acid, catechol, vanillic acid, salicylic acid, vanillin, syringaldehyde, coumaric acid, chlorogenic acid, coumarin, rutin, quercetin, kaempferol, and caffeic acid. All solvents utilized in chromatography were of analytical grade; methanol (Panreac), formic acid (dynamic) and ultrapure water obtained from a Milli-Q system.…”
