Abstract
SHIKIMIC, quinic, succinic, malic, citric, fumaric and lactic acids have been separated on ‘Dowex ]’ ion-exchanger from combined aqueous and alcohol extracts of Iris pseudacorus, using the method of Hulme and Wooltorton1. These acids have been identified from their elution positions, their RF values in various solvents and by chemical tests where appropriate.
