Flavonoideistas
Flavonoideistas are scientists who study flavonoids, a large class of polyphenolic compounds produced by plants. The term is informal and used mainly in Spanish-language contexts to describe researchers whose work centers on the chemistry, biosynthesis, function, and health-related aspects of flavonoids. It is not a formal designation in most scientific taxonomies.
Flavonoids include subclasses such as flavones, flavonols, isoflavones, anthocyanidins, and related pigments. Flavonoideistas work across disciplines,
Research approaches combine isolation and structural characterization using methods such as HPLC, mass spectrometry and NMR,
Flavonoideistas have contributed to phytochemistry and nutraceutical science by mapping flavonoid diversity in species, elucidating biosynthetic
