Antioxidant Enzyme, Phenolic Substance and Plant Nutrient Contents of Malva sylvestris L. and Alcea rosea L. Species Used as Medicinal Plants

Abstract

It is of great importance to know the antioxidant, phenolic and nutrient content of medicinal and aromatic plants in order to evaluate different usage areas. For this purpose, antioxidant enzyme activity and total antioxidant, phenolic substance and plant nutrient content of Malva sylvestris L. and Alcea rosea L. plants of Malvaceae family were determined in this study. As a result of the study, the highest peroxidase (POD), catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and ascorbate peroxidase (AxPOD) enzyme activity were measured in Alcea rosea L. species. Total carotenoid and total phenolic substance amount were higher in Alcea rosea L. species than Malva sylvestris L. species. When the nutrient content of the plants is evaluated, the highest N, P, Na, Fe and Mn amount were determined in the Alcea rosea L. species, and the highest K, Ca, Mg, Zn and Cu amount were determined in the Malva sylvestris L. species. According to these results, it is determined that Alcea rosea L. species, which is rich in antioxidant, phenolic substance and total carotenoid amounts and some plant nutrient amounts, has higher usage potential in different areas.

Tıbbi Bitki Olarak Kullanılan Malva sylvestris L. ve Alcea rosea L. Türlerinin Antioksidant Enzim, Fenolik Madde ve Bitki Besin Element İçerikleri

Abstract

Tıbbi ve aromatik bitkilerin, farklı kullanım alanlarını değerlendirebilmek için içerdikleri antioksidan, fenolik ve besin element miktarlarının bilinmesi büyük önem arz etmektedir. Bu amaçla bu çalışmada, Malvaceae familyasına ait, Malva sylvestris L. ve Alcea rosea L. bitkilerinin antioksidan enzim aktivitesi ile toplam antioksidan, fenolik madde ve bitki besin element içerikleri belirlenmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda, en yüksek peroksidaz (POD), katalaz (CAT), süperoksid dismutaz (SOD) ve askorbat peroksidaz (AxPOD) enzim aktivitesi Alcea rosea L. bitkisinde ölçülmüştür. Toplam karotenoid ve toplam fenolik madde miktarı Malva sylvestris L. bitkisine göre Alcea rosea L. bitkisinde daha yüksek ölçülmüştür. Bitkilerin besin içerikleri değerlendirildiğinde en yüksek N, P, Na, Fe ve Mn miktarı Alcea rosea L. bitkisinde belirlenirken, K, Ca, Mg, Zn ve Cu miktarı ise en yüksek Malva sylvestris L. bitkisinde belirlenmiştir. Bu sonuçlara göre antioksidan, fenolik madde ve toplam karotenoid miktarları ile bazı bitki besin madde miktarları bakımından zengin olan Alcea rosea L. bitkisinin, farklı alanlarda kullanım potansiyelinin daha yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir.
