Article Synopsis
- The study compares nine different sets of Epimedii Folium, focusing on how their geographical origin and species affect the quality and active components of this medicinal plant.
- Using HPLC-DAD and multivariate analysis, the research identifies and quantifies key bioactive flavonoid compounds, revealing that the concentration of these compounds varies significantly based on species and growing location.
- The findings suggest that both species and geographical origin strongly influence Epimedii Folium's quality, and the study recommends using HPLC data combined with multivariate analysis to enhance cultivation practices and ensure better plant quality.
Background: Vegetable oils are yearly produced in large amounts generating solid by-products, the oilseed cake (OC). OCs are lignocellulosic materials that have been used for animal feed with some limitations due to high fibre content from the plant cell walls. Biotechnological processes can help to overcome these limitations and contribute to up-grading such by-products, enhancing their nutritional value as feed ingredients.
