Trigonella foenum-graecum, commonly called fenugreek, is a leguminous plant native to many Asian, Middle Eastern and European countries. Fenugreek oil is very effective in digestion. Identification of fenugreek genotype rich in saponins and fixed oil will be useful for pharmaceutical industries. In the present study, steroidal saponin and fixed oil content was analysed in 46 diverse fenugreek genotypes on dry weight basis. Significant differences were observed in the total saponin and fixed oil content among the genotypes. Saponin and fixed oil content ranged from 0.92 g to 1.68 g and 3.25 to 6.88 g with corresponding mean value of 1.34 g and 5.19 g/100 g dw, respectively.
胡芦巴,通常被称为葫芦巴,是一种豆科植物,原产于许多亚洲、中东和欧洲国家。胡芦巴油对消化非常有效。鉴定富含皂苷和固定油的胡芦巴基因型对制药行业将是有用的。在本研究中,以干重为基础分析了46种不同胡芦巴基因型中的甾体皂苷和固定油含量。在基因型之间观察到总皂苷和固定油含量存在显著差异。皂苷和固定油含量范围分别为0.92克至1.68克和3.25至6.88克,相应的平均值分别为1.34克和5.19克/100克干重。
