Study of monosaccharide composition of meadow pasqueflower

Abstract

The manuscript presents the results of monosaccharide composition analysis of the Pulsatilla pratensis (L.) Mill herb. Determination of free and general monosaccharides in herbal raw material was performed by the gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). According to the experimental results 13 carbohydrate compounds, 6 of them were monosaccharide and 2 of them were sugar alcohols. Among the determined monosaccharides Xylose (13.89 mg/g), Glucose (4.79 mg/g), Arabinose (3.01 mg/g) and Galactose (2.99 mg/g) were found in higher quantity.
