Investigation of seasonal variation of the anthranoids content in the roots of Asphodelus albus mill., from Montenegro

Abstract

In the roots of Asphodelus albus, originating from Montenegro, the quantity of total anthranoids and relationship between specific types of anthranoid complex (free and glycosilated, oxidized and hydrogenated) during the vegetative cycle are not constant, but show cyclic changes. Based upon the dynamics of observed seasonal variation and modes of usage, optimal periods for exploitation of roots were established.

U korenu čapljana, Asphodelus albus, poreklom iz Crne Gore, sadržaj ukupnih antranoida i odnos pojedinih tipova kompleksa antranoida (slobodnih i glikozilovanih, oksidovanih i redukovanih), tokom vegetacionog perioda nisu konstantni, već pokazuju ciklične promene. Na osnovu konstatovane dinamike ovog sezonskog variranja, utvrđeni su optimalni periodi za eksploataciju korena u zavisnosti od njegove namene.
