Phenolic acids from pericarps, seeds and leaves in the C. japonica were analysed by means of two dimensional thin layer chromatography and RP-HPLC methods. The fourteen acids were identified. The following phenolic acids predominated in all the axaminated material: caffeic, protocatechuic, gallic, p-hydroxybenzoic, p-coumaric, ferulic, syringic, vanillic. The contents of nine major phenolic acids was described. In leaves acids occurred in the greatest content, especially caffeic (266.25 µg/g) and protocatechuic acid (123.80 µg/g).
