Abstract

Ammajin, a glycosidal furocoumarin, and its aglycone marmesin have been prepared by a simple method from the fruits of Ammi majus L. growing in Egypt. The percentages of free marmesin, as well as, that resulting from hydrolysis of ammajin, were determined by two methods, viz., spectrophotometric and colorimetric methods, both associated with TLC.
