Rezumat

The genus Cassia contains about 60 species, including C. angustifolia, known as medicnal plant. In recent decades the other species C. occidentalis has become the object of phytochemical studies, which allowed the identification of various chemical compounds with therapeutic effects such as anthraquinones, phenolic compounds, and carotenoids. This species was introduced into the Collection of Medicinal and Aromatic plants of the Institute of Genetics, Physiology and Plant Protection of the Republic of Moldova. Objective of the study was the determination of carotenoid content in different vegetal products collected from the C. occidentalis species, grown in climate conditions of the Republic of Moldova. Carotenoid dosing was performed at Metertech UV/VIS SP 8001 spectrophotometer (absorbance 448 nm) in different plant products – Folia, Flores, Fruits and Herba of C. occidentalis species. Extraction was carried out in 2 extractants (95% ethyl alcohol and hexane) on a water bath at 600C. Content was expressed as mg% FW. The experimental data denote that, for all analyzed vegetal products, the extraction of carotenoids in 95% ethyl alcohol was more efficient than in hexane. The obtained results show that total carotenoids in recalculation to β-carotene varies in the analyzed plant products from 18.48 to 88.10 mg% in 95% ethyl alcohol and from 2.09 to 28.7 mg% in hexane extractant. The highest values recorded in both extractants were reported for Folia – 88.00 mg% in 95% ethyl alcohol and 28.70 mg% in hexane, followed by Flores (respectively) – 58.82 and 18.47 mg% and Herba – 55.23 and 17.17, but the lowest in Fructus 18.48 and 2.09 mg%. Ethyl alcohol 95% is much more effective than hexane for extracting carotenoids from all plant products of C. occidentalis species. All analyzed plant products are characterized by carotenoid content and are of interest for the cultivation and valorization of this species for pharmaceutical purposes.
