THE ISOLATION AND IDENTIFICATION OF BOUND COUMARIN FROM MELILOTUS ALBA

Abstract
A method is described for the isolation and purification of bound coumarin from seeds of Melilotus alba. Synthetic coumarinic acid β-glucoside has been prepared and its properties compared with those of bound coumarin. The results of these experiments confirm that bound coumarin and coumarinic acid β-glucoside are identical.
