This paper describes the development and the validation of an UV-Vis spectrophotometric method for the quantification of derivatives of o-hydroxycinnamic acid in leaves of Echinodorus grandiflorus. The method showed to be linear (r² = 0.9974), precise (RSD < 15%) in the analysis of complex matrix and accurate (recovery = 107.56%).
