Changes in the content of phenolic compounds and ascorbic acid depending in the place of plants growing Chenopodium album, Bidens pilosa |
|
|
The level of bioactive substances is influenced by a combination of factors that characterize the environment, such as geographic location, climatic characteristics, fertility, moisture, type, and composition of soils. In this work, we investigated the dependence of the content of phenolic compounds and ascorbic acid on the place of growth in the aerial parts of two plant species Chenopodium album & Bidens pilosa growing in four different agro-climatic regions of the Republic of Burundi.
According to our research results, the content of the studied compounds in the medicinal plants Chenopodium album and Bidens pilosa differed depending on place of growth. It was found that for the plant Chenopodium album, from Kirimiro region has the most suitable conditions for the accumulation of phenolic compounds, and the Bugesera region for the accumulation of ascorbic acid. For Bidens pilosa, the conditions of the Buragane region are most favorable for the accumulation of flavonoids and tannins, and Kirimiro - for soluble phenolic compounds and ascorbic acid. It is shown that the conditions of the same place affect differently the content of biologically active compounds in different plant species.
