INTERRELATION OF THE MICROELEMENT STATUS AND COMPONENT COMPOSITION OF ESSENTIAL OIL TAKEN FROM PLANTS OF FILIPENDULA GENUS

Abstract

The research of interrelation of the microelement compound of the most widespread species of Filipendula (meadowsweet) genus and component composition of essential oil taken from their has been conducted in present work. Such plants as F. angustiloba Maxim., F. camtschatica Maxim., F. denudata Fritsch., F. glaberrime Nakai, F. intermedia Juz., F. palmata Maxim., F.picbaueri Smejkal., F. ulmaria Maxim., F. vulgaris Moench. growing on Eurasia, were objects of research. The aerial parts of these plants were collected during flowering stage. The content of 59 trace elements was defined by means inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy. The component composition of essential oil was determined by method of a gas chromatography with the mass spectrometry. As a result, was established that the component composition of essential oil taken from investigated plants is presented by 19 compounds of the phenolic and isoprene structure. The obtained data was analyzed with using cluster analysis. As a result has been shown that the microelement status and component composition of essential oil well correlate among themselves and with the systematic position of the investigated species which had been determined earlier in classic botany with using the morphological indications. Thus, the microelement status of a plant and component composition of the essential oil produced by it, are interdependent and typical for each species of plant.
