Medicinal plants are widely used for the relief of disease symptoms or as dietary supplements. In recent decades, purple coneflower has become extremely well known. An infusion or tincture of purple coneflower can be prepared by anyone simply, inexpensively, and ecologically safely. Three plant parts of purple coneflower were used in the study: extracts from roots, flowers, and leaves were obtained using three different solvents (100% and 40% ethanol and water). High-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrophotometer identified and quantified 23 individual phenolics. Pure (100%) ethanol gave the lowest yield of all the investigated phenolic compounds in all herb parts. Chicoric and caftaric acids were the major phenolic compounds in coneflower. Caftaric acid, with health promoting properties, was extracted best in a water solution from purple coneflower leaves (2673.31 mg/100 g dry weight [DW]) and chicoric acid, also with a beneficial effect on human health, yielded the highest levels in 40% ethanol solution from flowers (1571.79 mg/100 g DW) and roots (1396.27 mg/100 g DW).
药用植物被广泛用于缓解疾病症状或作为膳食补充剂。近几十年来,紫锥菊已广为人知。任何人都可以简单、廉价且生态安全地制备紫锥菊的浸剂或酊剂。本研究使用了紫锥菊的三个植物部位:使用三种不同溶剂(100%乙醇、40%乙醇和水)获得根、花和叶的提取物。高效液相色谱 - 质谱仪鉴定并定量了23种酚类物质。在所有草药部位中,纯(100%)乙醇提取出的所有被研究酚类化合物的产量最低。菊苣酸和咖啡酸是紫锥菊中的主要酚类化合物。具有促进健康特性的咖啡酸在紫锥菊叶子的水溶液中提取效果最佳(2673.31毫克/100克干重[DW]),而对人体健康也有有益作用的菊苣酸,在花的40%乙醇溶液(1571.79毫克/100克DW)和根的40%乙醇溶液(1396.27毫克/100克DW)中产量最高。
