HPLC–MS ANALYSIS OF THE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF ALHAGI MAURORUM CONCENTRATE GROWING IN DIFFERENT REGIONS OF UZBEKISTAN
Abstract
This study investigates the chemical composition of Alhagi maurorum (yantoq) concentrate collected from two major ecological regions of Uzbekistan — Qashqadaryo and Khorezm — using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography coupled with Mass Spectrometry (HPLC–MS). More than forty biologically active compounds were identified across both samples, including flavonoids (quercetin, isorhamnetin, rutin, apigenin derivatives), phenolic acids (vanillic, coumaric, sinapic), vitamins (B1, B2, B6, B9, PP, C), terpenoids (lupeol, farnesyl acetate), aromatic phenols (eugenol, hydroquinone), and various aliphatic hydrocarbons.
Comparative mass-spectral profiling revealed that the Qashqadaryo sample is richer in flavonoids, phenolic acids, and B-group vitamins, while the Khorezm sample exhibits higher levels of terpenoids, aromatic hydrocarbons, and volatile aromatic compounds such as damascenone and actinidiolide. These regional variations reflect environmental stress adaptations affecting secondary metabolite biosynthesis.
Overall, the diverse and abundant presence of antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and metabolically active molecules indicates that Alhagi maurorum concentrate possesses strong nutraceutical potential. The LC–MS results provide a scientific basis for developing functional beverages or bioactive formulations derived from local Uzbek botanical resources.
