Abstract
Lactuca sativa L. plants (cv. Audran) developed in greenhouse or in open air, were analysed for their polyphenol compounds (caffeic acid derivatives, quercetin and kaempferol glycosides) to verify whether these two different growing environments affected both the qualitative and quantitative phenol patterns. The lettuce extracts from greenhouse and open-air samples were compared and directly analysed by HPLC/DAD, HPLC/MS and HPTLC. All open-air samples had higher flavonol contents than the greenhouse ones. The applied rapid and sensitive HPTLC method could be routinely employed to determine the leaf flavonol content of a large number of lettuce samples.
