Polyphenols and Minerals, Antioxidants in the Plants Used in the Natural Treatment of Hepatobiliary Disorders

Abstract:

The seeds of milk thistle (Silybum marianum), the leaves of rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis), artichoke (Cynara scolymus), dandelion (Taraxacum officinale), and french tamarisk (Tamarix gallica) and burdock (Arctium lappa) roots are plants well known for their hepatobiliary protective properties. The present paper aims at realizing a comparative analysis concerning the polyphenol derivatives and minerals contents from the powders of the above mentioned plants and from their extracts. Actual methods, such as HPLC, UV-Vis Spectrophotometry, and AEA-Spectrometry were used. The results of this research confirm the higher contents of polyphenols in powders than in the plant extracts. Numerous polyphenolcarboxylic acids (caffeic, chlorogenic, ferulic, cichoric, cinaric, rosemarinic), flavone derivatives (rutin, quercetin, kaempherol, apigenin, luteolin) and flavolignans (silybin A, silybin B and derivatives) in the milk thistle seeds were identified and quantified thru HPLC methods. Various minerals were determined in the powders and the extracts of the plants. The data resulted in this analysis can be used to manufacture new food supplements as natural remedy in the treatment of hepatobiliary disorders. Keywords: HPLC, UV-Vis, AEA-Spectrometry, polyphenols, minerals, plants
