Нангиад зээргэний (EphedrasinicaStapf.) биохимийн судалгаа

Abstract

We have determined some biochemical properties including the moisture, ash, protein, nitrogen, cellulose, lignin, lipids and fatty acids in aerial shoot systems and root systems of the Ephedra sinica Stapf. From the test results, cellulose contents were 19.12% in aerial shoot systems and 20.23% in root systems. Thus, this indicates that the aerial shoot systems of Ephedra sinica Stapf. are promising raw materials to synthesize polysaccharides.

Lipid and lipid like substance components in seeds, aerial shoot systems and root systems of the Ephedra sinica Stapf. Seed contain 71.39% of all lipid and lipid like substances other origins of Ephedra sinica Stapf contain comparatively minimum amount of all lipids. From the study of fatty acids was contained in Ephedra sinica Stapf we identified nine different fatty acids in which the biologically active fatty acids, linoleic acid was contained up to 42% in aerial shoot systems. It is possible to use it for medical treatments because it is a major ingredient in F vitamin.

Analysis of amino acid contents was carried out by thin layer chromatography. As a result, total of 15 amino acids including all non substituted amino acids were identified. Metionin content (12.5%) was higher than any other amino acids in Ephedra sinica Stapf.
