The Lipide- Soluble Vitamin Contents Of Some Astragalus Taxa By Using HPLC

The aim of this study is to contribute the biochemical studies of five Astragalus (Astragalus anthlloides, Astragalus hirsutus, Astragalus campylorhynchus, Astragalus cephalotes var. cephalotes, Astragalus odaratus) species by determining the lipide-soluble vitamin contents based on HPLC analyse. Current study showed that A. anthlloides (208,95±4,09 μg/g) and A. hirsutus (200,9±2,8 μg/g) have high ？-tocopherol content. Also, D3 vitamin content of studied Astragalus species were found between 2,94±0,18 μg/g (Astragalus odaratus) and 12,53±,495 μg/g (Astragalus anthlloides). On the other hand, α-tocopherol content of Astragalus species have detected between 3,99±0,14 μg/g (Astragalus campylorhynchus) and 11,9±0,66 μg/g (Astragalus cephalotes var. cephalotes). However, it was found that A. hirsutus only have beta caroten content (3,55±0,43 μg/g) among studied species. On the other hand, it was found that r-tocopherol, a-tocopherol acetate, D2, K1, retinol and retinol acetate contents were lowest amounts or absent
