Abstract

The aim of the study was to compare the contents of the active compounds in the extracts obtained from the grasses from the collection of the Botanical Garden of National Centre for Plant Genetic Resources in Bydgoszcz. The study was conducted in cooperation with Pharmacognosy Nicolaus Copernicus University Collegium Medicum in Bydgoszcz. For 15 species (Andropogon distachyos, A. gerardi, A. hallii, A. saccharoides, A. scoparius, Dichanthium caucasicum, Hierochloë odorata, H. repens, Melica ciliata, M. persica, M. transsilvanica, Miscanthus giganteus, M. sacchariflorus, M. sinensis, Spodiopogon sibiricus), the contents of phenols and antioxidant activities were examined, in period 2008-2015. The percentage value of phenols was determined by the colorimetric method of Folin-Ciocalteau described in the Pharmacopoeia Polonica VI. The results are expressed with the use of the pyrogallol. The highest content of phenolic compounds was observed for the herb of Spodiopogon sibiricus (2.74%). Hierochloë repens was characterized by the lowest percentage value of polyphenols (0.72%). The antioxidant activity expressed as the degree of inhibition of DPPH• radical was investigated. The highest value was shown by a methanol extract of rhizoms Miscanthus giganteus (81.76%). The weakest effect was observed in the case of an extract of herb M. persica (12.66% inhibition of radical DPPH•).
