Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Optimal conditions for extraction of tannins and other phenolics from tree foliage and their subsequent storage rarely have been investigated. We investigated methods of drying leaves, optimal solvents, and the effects of light and temperature on the extractability and stability of condensed tannins (proanthocyanidins) and total phenolics from leaves of Eucalyptus trees. Aqueous acetone was a better solvent than aqueous methanol for condensed tannins and total phenolics, but condensed tannins were less stable in aqueous acetone than aqueous methanol. Stability of condensed tannins also was decreased substantially by room temperature versus 4°C and by exposure to indirect sunlight, although the assay for total phenolics was unaffected. For quantitative estimation of condensed tannins, extraction with 50% acetone was better than methods of direct analysis of leaf tissue. The highest estimates of total condensed tannins were obtained by exhaustive extraction with 50% acetone followed by direct analysis of the residue. Lyophilization of fresh leaf increased yield of condensed tannin (although usually by less than 10%). Lyophilization and subsequent storage of extracts had little effect on assays for condensed tannins or total phenolics. © 1991 Plenum Publishing Corporation.
