ESI negative mode BPI chromatogram of Marula stem ethanol extract showing the full chromatogram overlaid with an expansion of region 0 to 7 min. A total of six compounds were identified, the presence of four of these; quinic acid (peak 1), catechin (peak 2),epigallocatechin-3-gallate (peak 4), and epicatechin gallate (peak 7) was confirmed using pure standards on UPLC-QTOF-MS. Epicatechin-3-O-gallate-epicatechin (peak 5) and procyanidin B2-3′3 di-O-gallate (peak 6) were tentatively identified and peak 3 was unidentified
