The content changes of selected phenolic compounds during processing of medicinal plants
GROŠAFTOVÁ, Blanka
This work was aimed to the problem of change of the content of selected phenolic substances during treatment and storage of medical plants. Flavonoids represent small, but very important group of phenolic compounds. The biggest attention was paid to quercetin and rutine.Content of phenolic substances was determined by method of micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (MECC) in case of 6 medicinal plants usually used in traditional and modern medicine.
The content of selected fenolic compounds in medicinal plants.
KREJČÍ, Zuzana
The work has been inquired into the problem of content determination of phenolic substances in medicinal plants traditionally used in Czech Republic. Phenolic substances belong to a group of natural compounds, which are purely plant origin. Flavonoids are a part of this extensive group of compounds. As for flavonoids, most attention is paid to quercetin and rutin. It is caused by their easy availability and very significant biological activity. These compounds embody a lot of positive biological effects. They have expressive antioxidant properties, inhibit lipid peroxidation, scavenge free oxygen radicals and bond into the chelates they inactivate some prooxidant metal ions. The latest researches have shown that thanks to their properties natural flavonoids can occurence of chronical diseases, such as arterosklerosis, cardiovascular or tumor disorder. Flavonoids are exploited both in traditional and modern medicine. Same other studies have evidenced that valuable sources of these biologically effective substances are traditionally used medicinal plants. Content of phenolic substances was determined by method of micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (MECC) and liquid chromatography (HPLC) in collection of 8 medicinal plants usually used in Czech Republic. For analysis was used freeze-dried and dried plant material. In freeze-dried material was found the highest content of total quercetin in Filipendula ulmaria L. (14200 mg/kg of dry weight) and in Betula pendula Roth. (11800 mg/kg of dry weight). The highest content of rutin contained Sambucus nigra L. (17700 mg/kg of dry weight). Similar values was measured in dried plant material. The content of total quercetin and rutin during drying was unchanged.
