EXTRACTION AND SEPARATION OF SOME ACTIVE COMPOUNDS IN ERUCA SATIVA AND STIUDY IT'S BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY

Abstract

This study aimed to sperat and extract of some active compounds in Eruca sativa .It included identificaion and determination of active compounds their percentages in the leaves,stem and seeds,like(Tannine, Glycosides,Alkaloids,Saponins,Resins,Flavonoids and Terpens). The results obtained were showen that these compounds are found in all part of the plant .The stem is not contain Terpenes and Resins .The highest percentages for active compounds was in leaves like the percentages .For the Tannins and Glycosids and Alkaloids and Saponins,these were 14.3%,6%,11%,7.4% respectively. For basic found chemical compounds such as (protein,carbohydrates,total oils and ash) in the main parts of plant . It was found that the highest percentages of protein and carbohydratesre were in leaves at 36%,28% respectively .While the total oil percentages was 29% in seeds . The highest value of percentages for the moisture was 9.4%. Determined of the major mineral like (Ca,Na,K,Li,Ba) in the main part of plant using flame photometer technique was refereed that calcium present of higest concentration in the main parts of plant.The study has been performed of activity bilogical inhibited for extacts prepared from leaves towards yeast Candida albican and fungi Geotrichum candidum using well indiffusion agar.This happened by use of different concentration (10-100)mg/ml and use solvents(water,methanol and ethanol).The study explaind that were significant differeces between the aqueous extract which has been least inhibited activity towards fungi and the ethanolic extract which gave highest activity against yeast Candida albicans .The inhibition zone was (17.3)mm
