Opinions on conservation, economical importance and using possibility of Turkish Soapworts (Gypsophila L. and Ankyropetalum Fenzl spp.)

Abstract

In our country, many plant species are used for economic purposes. In this paper, using possibilities of taxa in economic importance which belonging to genera Gypsophila L. and Ankyropetalum Fenzl (Caryophyllaceae) are explained. Some findings which based on the experiences of traditional usings of local people are recorded by us and some ones are compiled from literature knowledge. Some species belonging to genera Gypsophila and Ankyropetalum are fairly important in economy. Saponin-rich and economically important taxa of these genera are named as “Çöven” by public. These taxa are used to make “Tahini Halvah”, “Foam Halvah”, “Turkish Delight”, “Herbal Cheese” and “Bread of Çöven”, also to product detergent as fabrication, fire extinguisher, liquor, soap and to obtain commercial saponin. These plants notified as diuretic, expectorant, acne remover are used to polish gold at jewellery sector and exported to abroad. However, to be largely collecting from nature of these taxa which has large using area, brings along disappearing danger for these plants.
