Determination of amino acids content in two samples of the plant mixtures by GC-MS

Due to the wide range of biologically active substances, plant mixtures can influence development diabetes mellitus and its complications. Amino acids attract particular attention due their ability stimulate insulin secretion, reduce hyperglycemia regulate metabolic processes in patients with diabetes. The aim this study was investigate content amino mixture samples: 1) Cichorium intybus roots, Elymus repens rhizome, Helichrysum arenarium flowers, Rosa majalis fruits, Zea mays columns stigmas, 2) Urtica dioica leaf, Taraxacum officinale Vaccinium myrtillus Mentha piperita herb, which have proven antidiabetic activity studies vivo . were separated by validated method gas chromatography-mass spectrometry pre-column derivatisation. Quantitative analyses showed that predominant components L -proline sample 1 -leucine 2 mixtures.
