Positive- and negative-ion mass spectra of five glycoconjugates were obtained using laser desorption/Fourier transform mass spectrometry. These were the glycoalkaloids alpha-solanine and alpha-tomatine and the steroid glycosides gitoxin, lanatoside A and digitonin. Doping with KCl yielded both potassium- and chloride-attachment

This work reports the use of simple coacervates of the hydrophobic protein zein to encapsulate Gitoxin, a cardiotonic glycoside. The microspheres obtained using ethanol, methanol, iso-propyl alcohol were characterized using viscosity index, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and laser light scattering
