| Title : | A QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF EXTRACTIVES FROM THE SPECIES Trifolium pratense L. IN THREE DIFFERENT SOLVENTS |
| Abstract : | This research focuses on the relative quantitative and qualitative analysis of extractives from the species Trifolium pratense L. samples that were collected from flowers, stems and whole plants. Extractions were carried out with a Soxhlet device and three different solvents (water, ethanol, dichloromethane) were used. Chemical analyses were conducted with gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. The results revealed significant amounts of chemical compounds, such as megastigmatrienone, phytol, squalene, carenol, borneol etc, found in the specimens. The identification of red clover genotypes containing high concentration of these compounds could have multiple applications in chemical, food and pharmaceutical industry. |
