THE QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF METABOLITES FROM SELECTED CHENOPODIUM SPECIES
AbstractChenopodium album L., Chenopodium murale L., and Chenopodium giganteum L. are annual herbs with ethno-medicinal value. The present study investigates the primary and secondary metabolites quantification of Chenopodium species. The quantitative estimation of bioactive molecules from the root, stem, and leaves showed the presence of proteins, carbohydrates, starch, phenols, and flavonoids. However, these metabolites vary in root, stem, and leaves. The result obtained indicates that Chenopodium album leaves contain the highest amount of protein (9.515 ± 0.119 mg/gdw equivalent of bovine serum albumin), Chenopodium murale root contains the highest amount of carbohydrates (39.798 ± 0.105 mg/gdw equivalent of glucose) and starch (19.294 ± 0.183 mg/gdw equivalent of glucose), Chenopodium giganteum leaves contains the highest amount of flavonoids (12.397 ± 0.121 mg/gdw equivalent of quercetin), Chenopodium murale leaves contains the highest amount of phenol (4.882 ± 0.056 mg/gdw equivalent of gallic acid), among the other species. The data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA. p<0.05 and F-statistical value > F-critical value were considered the minimum significance level.
