ABSTRACT: Often, siloxanes and silanes have been reported as constituents of plant extracts, where the authors have not remarked on whether the compounds are natural plant metabolites, xenobiotics stemming from anthropogenic environmental pollution or contaminants originating from the analysis itself. This contribution critically reviews and evaluates silyl containing compounds in plant extracts.
