Comparison of Fatty Acid Composition and Antioxidant Contents of Tribulus Terrestris L. Collected from Different Localities

For a long time, many cultures around the world have used Tribulus terrestris L. in the prevention and treatment of various diseases. In this study, the antioxidant activity and total phenolic and flavonoid content of extracts obtained with various solvents from T. terrestris plant collected from different localities in Kahramanmaraş were investigated. In addition, the fixed oil content of the extracts was examined by GC-MS analysis and as a result, 26 different fatty acids were determined. The main fatty acid components of plant extracts are linoleic acid, oleic acid and palmitic acid. The total phenolic substance value of plant extracts varies between 2.20-18-77 mg g-1 , total flavonoid amount varies between 0.06-0.50 mg g-1 , FRAP value varies between 6.16-23.50 µg g-1 and DPPH value varies between 1.54-10.54 µg mL-1 . It was observed that the solvents used in extraction affected the bioactivity values rather than the locations. Although the absorbance values of the extracts obtained with hexane were high, low extract yield affected the results. The highest values in all characters examined were obtained from ethanolic extracts.

Farklı Lokalitelerden Toplanan Tribulus Terrestris L.’in Yağ Asidi Bileşimi ve Antioksidan İçeriklerinin Karşılaştırılması

Uzun zamandan beri, dünyadaki pek çok kültür tarafından, çeşitli hastalıkların önlenmesi ve tedavisinde Tribulus terrestris L. bitkisi kullanılmıştır. Bu çalışmada, Kahramanmaraş’taki farklı lokalitelerden toplanan T. terrestris bitkisinden, çeşitli çözücülerle elde edilen ekstraktların, antioksidan aktivitesi ile toplam fenolik ve flavonoid içeriği incelenmiştir. Ayrıca ekstraktların sabit yağ içeriği GC-MS analizi ile incelenmiş ve sonuç olarak 26 farklı yağ asidi belirlenmiştir. Bitki ekstraktlarının başlıca yağ asidi bileşenlerini linoleik asit, oleik asit ve palmitik asit oluşturmaktadır. Bitki ekstraktlarının toplam fenolik madde değeri 2,20-18-77 mg g-1 , toplam flavonoid miktarı 0,06- 0,50 mg g-1 , FRAP değeri 6,16-23,50 µg g-1 ve DPPH değeri 1,54-10,54 µg mL-1 arasında değişmektedir. Biyoaktivite değerlerini lokasyonlardan ziyade ekstraksiyonda kullanılan çözücülerin etkilediği görülmüştür. Hekzanla elde edilen ekstraktların abzorbans değerleri yüksek olsa da düşük ekstrakt verimi sonuçları etkilemiştir. İncelenen tüm karakterlerde en yüksek değerler etanolik ekstraktlardan elde edilmiştir.
