We evaluated Gliricidia sepium and Tithonia diversifolia from two different altitudes (Tuluá 960 masl and Codazzi 131 masl). We assess the content of hydrolyzable tannins and total polyphenols in three different parts of the plant, in order to identify the potential effect of altitude over secondary biomolecules concentration. We applied analytical and instrumental protocols of AOAC international to determine the presence of secondary metabolites. Two way ANOVA shows
no-significant differences in the content of total polyphenols and condensed tannins in the different parts of the plant in neither T. diversifolia or G. sepium. We found significant differences in the content of total polyphenols within the altitude, but not for the part of the plant in which the sample was collected.
