Abstract: | The phenolic compounds ofAzolla imbricata andA. japonica have been examined in the present study. Both species were found to contain luteolinidin 5-glucoside and several phenolic compounds, particularly chlorogenic acid, aesculetin, caffeic acid 3,4-diglucoside and 6-(3′-glucosylcaffeoyl)-aesculetin. In addition, glucose esters ofp-coumaric acid and glucose, 1,6-diester of caffeic and chlorogenic acids were present in a small amount. The acid- and alkali-hydrolyzates ofAzolla plants yielded caffeic acid and aesculetin present at the level of about 0.047% and 0.012% in fresh plants, and a large part of the caffeic acid seems to be present as the ester. |
