The Biochemical Properties of Some Species of Dicranum Hedw.

In this study, the fatty acid compositions, lipid-soluble vitamins, sterols, flavonoids, and phenolic levels, as well DPPH radical scavenging activity of five different Dicranum species (D. majus, D. fuscencens, polysetum, scoparium tauricum) were examined. While acids evaluated by HPLC, compositions assessed gas chromatography. Based on study findings, it was determined that examined exhibit low levels flavonoids vitamins. However, seen under high in terms acids. Particularly, have substantial gallic (52.96-63.1 g/g) vanilic (11.96-44.83 g/g). Cinnamic concentration lowest samples. The capacity found to range from 48.92% 86.89% 250 µl study. Additionally, discovered investigated species' stigmasterol contents ranged 35.3 46.05 g/g. ergosterol beta-sitosterol majus fuscescens. results composition, oleic (C18:1 n9), linoelic (C18:2 n6), -linolenic (C18:3 n3) predominant unsaturated palmitic (C16:0) behenic (C22:0) major saturated acid.
