Study of the polysaccharide complex in the roots of certain species of Eryngium L., injected under the conditions of the antechamber
The genus Eryngium L. belongs to the subfamily Saniculoideae sem. Apiaceae, Eryngium caucasicum Trautv. and Eryngium planum L. - perennial herbaceous plants up to 70-90 cm high. Distributed by sycophants in the Caucasus, Western Siberia and the European part of Russia, as well as in Central Asia. They grow in pastures, fallow lands, in the outskirts of fields, at the edges of forests, sometimes as weeds. As a result of the conducted studies, the quantitative content of water-soluble polysaccharides, pectin substances, hemicellulose A and hemicellulose B in the roots of a blue-eyed flat-leafed and blue-hued Caucasian blossom was determined. It was found that the roots of Eryngium planum contain 2 times more polysaccharides than the roots of Eryngium caucasicum. The results obtained show us the prospect of further investigation of the polysaccharide complex of these plants.
