| Abstract | ||||
| Some nutritional vitamin, flavonoid and phenolic compounds of Forsskaolea viridis aerial parts were extracted and investigated for the first time by using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). A comparative analysis of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K) and water-soluble vitamins (C and B complex) were carried out. Results of this study revealed that, the presence of vitamin A (retinol) as the highest concentrated fat soluble vitamins (332.591μg/100g), and the presence of water-soluble vitamins, in which vitamin C (ascorbic acid) represented relatively high concentration (234.21μg/100g), followed by vitamin B12 (cobalamin) (386.06 μg/100g) and vitamin B2 (riboflavin) (112.16 μg/100g) in the aerial parts of Forsskaolea viridis The outlined results of HPLC investigation of methanolic extract showed the presence of 18 phenolic and 26 flavonoid known compounds , which were identified for the first time from the aerial parts of Forsskaolea viridis The high concentration of vitamins, flavonoid compounds and phenolic acids contents in the plant reflected to the medicinal importance of the plant as anticancer, antioxidant and antimicrobial activity which play an important role in human health and plant growth. | ||||
