HPLC-BASED ANALYSIS OF PHENOLIC COMPOUNDS IN ZIZIPHORA EXTRACT

Abstract

This study investigates the content of phenolic compounds in the extract of Ziziphora (locally known as kiyik o‘ti) using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) method. Standard solutions of phenolic compounds such as gallic acid, salicylic acid, rutin, quercetin, apigenin, and kaempferol were prepared and compared with the plant extract. The results confirmed the presence of apigenin, rutin, salicylic acid, and quercetin in the extract, while gallic acid and kaempferol were not detected. These findings are important for evaluating the biochemical composition of the plant and its potential medicinal properties
