Piyasada Tıbbi Melisa (Melissa officinalis L.) Olarak Satılan Bitkisel Poşet Çayların Anatomik ve Fitokimyasal Olarak İncelenmesi

Öz

Etnobotanik olarak değerli bir bitki olan melisa eski çağlardan beri birçok hastalığın tedavisinde kullanılmaktadır. Buna karşın, ülkemizde aynı isme sahip farklı bitkiler piyasada tıbbi melisa (Melissa officinalis L.) yerine satılmaktadır. Bu amaçla, piyasada M. officinalis olarak satılan öğütülmüş formda 15 farklı markalı poşet çay analiz edildi. Bu örneklerin hidroalkolik ekstrelerinin toplam fenol, flavonoid ve antioksidan kapasiteleri ile birlikte stoma yapıları incelendi. Buna ek olarak, kimyasal birleşimleri ve yapılarında bulunan rosmarinik asit miktarları Yüksek Performanslı İnce Tabaka Yöntemi ile belirlendi. İncelenen örnekler arasında, S1, S2, S9 ve S12 kodlu örneklerin uygunluk kriterlerini karşıladığı bulundu. Buna göre bu örneklerin yaprakları diasitik stoma yapısına sahip olduğu ve kimyasal yapılarında rosmarinik asit oranlarının %2’nin üzerinde olduğu belirlendi. Ayrıca bu örneklerde kafeik asidin de olduğu tespit edildi.

Anatomic and Phytochemical Investigation of Herbal Tea Bags Sold as Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis L.) in the Market

Abstract

Melissa officinalis L., an ethnobotanically valuable plant, has been used for the treatment of several diseases since ancient times. However, different plants with the same name are sold instead of lemon balm in markets that sell herbal products in Türkiye. For this purpose, 15 different brands of tea bags in crushed form, sold as lemon balm (Melissa officinalis L.) in markets, were analyzed. The total phenolic, flavonoid, and antioxidant capacities of the hydroalcoholic extracts of these tea samples along with the stomatal structure were investigated. Additionally, chemical compositions and rosmarinic acid contents were determined by the high-performance thin-layer chromatography method. Among the samples examined, S1, S2, S9, and S12 tea samples were found to meet the eligibility criteria. The leaves of these samples had diacytic stomata and the rosmarinic acid ratio in their phytochemical composition was over 2%. Furthermore, caffeic acid was detected in these samples.
