Qualitative and quantitative analysis of secondary metabolites in
morphological parts of Paulownia Clon in Vitro 112®
Abstract
It is not easy to find data in the scientific literature on the
quantitative content of individual phytochemicals. It is possible to
find groups of compounds and even individual compounds rather easily,
but it is not known what their concentration is in cultivated or wild
plants. Therefore, the subject of this study was to determine the
content of individual compounds in the new Paulownia species - Oxytree,
developed in a biotechnology laboratory in 2008 at La Mancha University
in Spain. Six secondary metabolites were isolated, and their chemical
structure was confirmed by spectral methods. An analytical method was
developed, which was then used to determine the content of individual
compounds in leaves, twigs, flowers and fruits of Paulownia Clon in
Vitro 112®. No flavonoids were found in twigs and fruits of Oxytree,
while the highest phenylethanoid glycosides were found in twigs.
