Abstract
Abstract Peppermint belongs to one of most popular medicinal plants in pharmacy as well as in the food industry. Aim: For the conventional usage, the aerial part, especially leaves, is used. This investigation was aimed at the determination of phenolic compound in peppermint rhizomes infusion and the comparison with the phenolics in leaves infusions. Methods: For the separation and identification of the phenolic compounds, the Sykam HPLC-DAD connected with Microsaic 4500MiD®, a single quadrupole mass spectrometer, was used. Results: Three compounds in rhizomes and eight compounds in leaves were identified and quantified. In rhizomes, rosmarinic acid was determined as the main secondary metabolite, but its content was three times lower than that in leaves. Infusion of peppermint leaves was richer in flavonoids content with eriocitrin as a major phenolic compound. Conclusion: Rhizomes of peppermint may also be used as a potential source of rosmarinic acid and caffeic acid derivatives.
期刊介绍：
European Pharmaceutical Journal publishes only original articles not previously published and articles that are not being considered or have not been submitted for publication elsewhere. If parts of the results have been published as conference abstract or elsewhere, it should be stated in references. The ethical standards of the Helsinki-Tokio Declaration should be kept. This should be mentioned in the Methods of manuscript. Reviews are published only on request. Authors, whose submitted research work was performed with the support of a company, should indicate this in Conflict of Interest.
