Abstract

Aim. To determine the component composition of the monoterpene fraction of F. persica roots and identify the localization of biologically active substances in the raw material.

Materials and methods. The identification and quantitative analysis were performed using gas chromatography – mass spectrometry. The raw material was collected during the full seed ripening in the vicinity of the village Dzhangi in the Gobustan region of Azerbaijan.

Results and discussion. Using gas chromatography – mass spectrometry, 15 compounds of monoterpenes were identified. The predominant components were heneicosane – 5.10 %; tetradecane – 3.29 %; disulfide, bis(1-methylpropyl) – 2.86 %; heptadecane – 2.50 %; 9,12,15-octadecatrienoic acid 2,3-bis(acetyloxy)propyl ester – 2.39 %; thiophene, 2,3,4-trimethyl- – 2.05 % in the dry raw material. In addition, it was found that resin was localized in large schizogenous receptacles.

Conclusions. The content of monoterpenes in F. persica roots has been determined using gas chromatography – mass spectrometry. The roots contain monoterpenes of heneicosane; tetradecane; disulfide, bis(1-methylpropyl); heptadecane; 9,12,15-octadecatrienoic acid 2,3-bis(acetyloxy)propyl ester. Thiophene and 2,3,4-trimethyl predominate in the raw material.
