BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE SUBSTANCES OF MENTHA SPICATA L.
Abstract
The data about qualitative and quantative composition of biologically active substances (volatile compounds, phenolic substances, vitamins) in water-ethanolic extract of promising specimen of Mentha spicata L. bred in NBS–NSC have been given in the paper. The concentration of volatile compounds in the spearmint water-ethanolic extract was 373,8 mg/100 g. 46 components have been determined in the extract, 42 - have been identified. Carvone (29,3%) and limonene (9,7%) are the major and most valuable volatile compounds of spearmint extract. The content of phenolic substances in the water-ethanolic extract of spearmint was 2260,0 mg/100 g. 17 components have been determined in the extract. Among the phenolic substances of spearmint extract rosmarinic acid (57,8%) dominates. The conclusion about possibility of use this extract to create food and health care products has been made.
