Evaluation of high-quality composition and content of biologically
active compounds of Salsola tragus grass as promising raw materials for the pharmaceutical industry.
Aim. To determine the chemical composition of the above-ground part of the Black
Sea species of S. tragus for the purpose of its use in medicine.
Materials and Methods. The study of biologically active compounds S. tragus were
conducted in the summer of 2020. Grass samples were collected along the field road
near the coast of the Tiligul estuary. The above-ground biomass of this species was
analysed. The total content of lipids and their fatty acid composition, the content of
carbohydrates, phenolic compounds and their derivatives were studied by generally
accepted methods. The acidity titre was determined using a solution of oxalic acid.
Main results. 11 compounds of phenolic nature, among which 5 phenoloxides
(ferulic, cinnamic, caffeic, gallicand chicoric), 1 coumarin (esculetin) and 5 flavonoids
(quercetin, rutin, luteolin-7-glucoside, hyperoside, hesperedin) were identified and
quantitatively determined. Ferulic and gallic acid prevail among phenolic acids.
Among the flavonoids luteoline-7-glucoside and hesperedin prevailed.
Grass S. tragus was quite rich on lipid components. In their composition, 8 fatty
acids were found. The content was dominated by unsaturated fatty acids with the
domination of linoleic and oleic acids – 27.67 and 19.27% respectively.
The largest content among the investigated biologically active compounds of S.
tragus belongs to the total carbohydrates (8.31%). The titre of raw material was
1.8%.
