Separation and Quantification of Phenolic Compounds of Wild Edible Plants
Journal Title: Journal of Plant Science and Research - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Ten wild edible plants were subjected to analysis. Individual phenolic compound concentration and the percentage from total phenolic compounds were pursued using RP-HPLC. Results showed that ten phenolic compounds (gallic, protocatechuic, catechin, gentisic, chlorogenic, vanillic, syrnigic, caffeic, epicatechin and benzoic acid) have been identified in the investigated plants. The highest catechin (300.9 mg/100g) (Ruta chalepensisL.) which is equivalent to 27.18% of total phenolic compounds, gallic acid (361.2 mg/100g) (Ruta chalepensis L.) which counts for 33.65% of total phenolics, chlorogenic acid (17.2 mg/100g) (Ruta chalepensis L.) (1.29%) and caffeic acid (137.5 mg/100g) (Centaurea iberica Trev.ex.Spreng) (36.3%). The lowest concentrations were found in Ruta chalepensis L. (7.69%). Centaurea iberica Trev.ex.Spreng contains the highest concentrations of protocatechuic acid (32.5 mg/100g) (6.19%). Caffeic acid (105.8 mg/100g) (Ruta chalepensis L.) (7.96%). No vanillic acid, caffeic acid and benzoic acid were detectable in Arum palaestinum Boiss.
