Evaluation of Some Biochemical Parameters of Raw of Artemisia Spp. (Asteraceae Bercht. & J. Presl.)

Abstract

This study was aimed to investigate the biochemical composition of plant raw material of Artemisia spp. in conditions of M.M. Gryshko National Botanical Garden of the NAS of Ukraine (Kyiv) at both budding and flowering stages. It was investigated the following species of Artemisia L. genus: A. abrotanum L., A. annua L., A. argyi H. Lev. & Vaniot, A. austriaca Jacq., A. japonica Thunb., A. ludoviciana Nutt., and A. maritima L. The content of dry matter determined by measuring till constant weight, the total content of reducing sugars by Bertrand method, tannins with indigo carmine, titratable acidity by titration with sodium hydroxide, and ascorbic acid with 2.6-dichlorophenol-indophenol, and the content of carotene on spectrophotometer with Kalosh petrol. At the stage of budding content of dry matter was from 26.72 (A. annua) to 48.63 (A. maritima) %, the content of reducing sugars from 5.11 (A. austriaca) to 8.93 (A. maritima) %, the titratable acidity from 2.06 (A. abrotanum) to 3.52 (A. japonica), the tannin content from 2.77 (A. abrotanum) to 5.1 (A. ludoviciana) %, ascorbic acid content from 11.65 (A. argyi) to 37.68 (A. japonica) mg%, and the content of carotene from 0.09 (A. ludoviciana) to 0.56 (A. abrotanum) mg%. At the stage of flowering, dry matter in raw was from 31.64 (A. annua) to 42.74 (A. austriaca) %, the content of sugars from 6.8 (A. austriaca) to 8.23 (A. annua) %, titratable acidity from 2.8 (A. abrotanum) to 4.66 (A. annua) %, tannin content from 4.22 (A. austriaca) to 6.36 (A. annua) %, the ascorbic acid content from 12.93 (A. abrotanum) to 65.18 (A. annua) mg%, and carotene content from 0.14 (A. austriaca) to 0.22 (A. annua) mg%. Also, at the period of budding very strong correlation was between titratable acidity and tannin content (r = 0.824), moderate correlation between dry matter and sugars content (r = 0.581). At the stage of flowering determined a very strong correlation between sugars and tannin content (r = 0.890), titratable acidity and tannins (r = 0.957), titratable acidity and ascorbic acid content (r = 0.999), tannins and ascorbic acid content (r = 0.966). In the M.M. Gryshko National Botanical Garden of the NAS of Ukraine just plants of A. abrotanum, A. annua, and A. austriaca passed in the period of flowering. Obtained data can be used for the deep further biochemical and pharmacological study.

Characteristic of Salvia officinalis L. Genotypes in the Steppe of South Ukraine

“…The most common among them are lavender, lavandin (Fernández-Sestelo and Carriello, 2020; Pokajewicz et al, 2021), lemon wormwood (Korablova et al, 2020), medicinal hyssop, peppermint (Yezerska et al, 2021), thyme (Vergun et al, 2022), monarda (Dudchenko et al, 2020), sage (Korablova et al, 2019), the raw materials of which are used in the pharmaceutical, perfumery and cosmetic, food industry, and medicine (Mňahončaková et al, 2019;Hudz et al, 2020;Frolova et al, 2021;Коrablova et al, 2021).…”

“…Investigation of Artemisia spp. herb showed at the flowering 6.8 -8.23% of sugars, 2.8 -4.66% of titrable acidity, 12.93 -65.18 mg per 100 g of ascorbic acids, 0.14 -0.22 mg per 100 g of β-carotene, and 4.22-6.36% of tannins (Korablova et al 2021). The macro-and microelement investigation of the different parts of three Artemisia species showed that A. annua and A. ludoviciana Nutt.…”
