Three types of Lactuca sativa L. plants (green lettuces Batavia cv. Maritima and cv. Winter Butterhead, red lettuce Lolo rosa cv. Tuska) were investigated for their polyphenol composition. The lettuce plants were grown in polyethylene greenhouses and treated with different fertilisers. The qualitative and quantitative polyphenol composition was evaluated according to the use of mineral, organic (Italpollina and Arkobaleno) and bio (Lombricompost and EKOprop NX) fertilisers. The individual polyphenol components (caffeoyl derivatives and quercetin glycosides) were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography and the sample differences were estimated. The differences in the polyphenol content in the green lettuce cultivars in dependence on fertilisation were much higher than those in the red cultivar. In general, the red lettuce Lolo rosa cv. Tuska was characterised by the highest content of polyphenols. The highest content of all components was determined in the samples of red lettuce with the use of organic fertiliser Arkobaleno. In. the red lettuce and the green lettuce cv. Winter Butterhead organic fertilisation resulted in the higher content of polyphenols in comparison with mineral fertilisation and unfertilised samples. An exception was observed in cv. Maritima, where the unfertilised samples showed higher content of polyphenols compared to the fertilised samples

AbstractA new method is described for the qualitative and quantitative determination of both free and bound maleic hydrazide residues in tobacco leaves and cigarette filler by high performance liquid chromatography. Analyses were carried out by hydrolyzing samples of ground tobacco with 4 N hydrochloric acid for 40 minutes under reflux followed by sample chromatography, running isocratic elutions with a dilute solution of phosphoric acid. The quantitative determination of maleic hydrazide was performed by light absorption at 320 nm, by the calibration curve method. Recoveries of maleic hydrazide added to tobacco samples were greater than 90 %. The detection limit of the method, determined on ground tobacco leaves, was at least 5 ppm. The results obtained by this procedure and by the ISO standard method no. 4876 are in good accordance.

AbstractThis study presents the results obtained from qualitative and quantitative analysis of gallic acid from hydro-alcoholic extracts (methanol, ethanol) of plants from Plantae regnum. Plant qualitative analysis was performed using a novel mass spectrometric (MS) method based on fully automated chip-nanoelectrospray ionization (nanoESI) high capacity ion trap (HCT) while quantitative analysis was carried out by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). These methods were applied to Alchemilla vulgaris — common lady’s-mantle (aerial part), Allium ursinum — bear’s garlic (leaves), Acorus calamus — common sweet flag (roots), Solidago virga-aurea — goldenrod (aerial part). Obtained results indicated that methanol extracts (96%, 80%) have a gallic acid content ranging between 0.0011–0.0576 mg mL−1 extract while the ethanol extracts (96%, 60%) exhibit a gallic acid concentration that varies between 0.0010–0.0182 mg mL−1 extract.
