Encyclopedia
Morin is a chemical compound. It is a yellow color substance that can be isolated from Maclura pomifera (Osage orange), Maclura tinctoria (old fustic) and from leaves of Psidium guajava
(common guava).
Morin can be used to test for the presence of aluminum or tin
in a solution, since it forms characteristically fluorescent
coordination complexes with them.
