Phytochemical and physicochemical characteristics of Vetiver plant (chrysopogon zizanioides) in different climatic regions of Iran

Background Vetiver plant An important and fragrant plant genus that belongs to the Gramine cereal family and sub-family Gorgiae and consists of ten species. The variety family belongs to the genus Parasorghum and Chrysopogon. Its chemical composition has a Sesquiterpene structure. Also, its treatment for some diseases such as control and treatment, antibiotic properties, treatment of malaria has been proven. Objectives The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the phytochemical and physicochemical properties and anti-inflammatory activities of the species vetiver plant (chrysopogon zizanioides) in three regions with different climates. Methods Vetiver plant roots in three regions with different climates in each region, three levels with different slopes in Gilan province, first level (30-40 degrees), second level (40-50 degrees), third level (60-70 degrees) and in Tehran province, first level (40-50 degrees), level second (70-80 degrees), third level (80-90 degrees) and in Golestan province first level (60-70 degrees), second level (70-80 degrees), third level (80-90 degrees) randomly in each The surface of four root samples of vetiver plant was sampled. Khusimol, total phenol, total flavonoid content were determined using acidic potassium. Dichromate, Folin-Siocaltio and Aluminum Chloride methods, respectively. Gas chromatography (GC-MASS) method was also used for identification. In addition to the small amount of Khusimol, the physicochemical properties of the Vetiver plant (chrysopogon zizanioides) and thiurase including macroscopic and organoleptic properties, solubility, foreign matter and ash values were evaluated. Results The highest levels of Khusimol, phenolic compounds and flavonoids were observed in vetiver plant roots in the side slope of Narmab dam reservoir located in Golestan province. The physicochemical properties of vetiver plant roots in the Narmab-Golestan reservoir range compared to the Hemet-Tehran highway range and the side slopes of the Sangar dam reservoir have a suitable standard. Conclusios This study showed that the amount of chosymol, total phenolic and total flavonoids of vetiver plant roots in steep slopes changes with the change of soil slope. In fact, with the increase of the soil slope and the height above sea level in all three regions, the slopes of the Hemmat-Tehran highway (semi-arid climate), the side slopes of the Narmab-Golestan dam reservoir (mountainous and humid climate), the side slopes of the Sangar dam reservoir - Gilan (moderate and humid climate) the amount of Khusimol, total phenolic and total flavonoid has increased.
