Determination of the polyphenolic content of Ammodaucus leucotrichus Cosson and Durieu by liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry and evaluation of the antioxidant and antiglycation properties.

Ammodaucus leucotrichus Cosson and Durieu, known as Sahara cumin, is a plant belonging to the Apiaceae family with a very strong smell of anise growing in the maritime sands in the countries of North Africa. The present work aims to study the polyphenolic profile of its seeds hydroalcoholic extract along with the determination of the antioxidant and antiglycation properties. The phytochemical screening revealed the presence of 16 compounds, out of which 15 have been detected in this extract for the first time.

Elucidation of Antioxidant Compounds in Moroccan L. Fruits by GC-MS and HPLC-MS Techniques.

The aim of this study was to characterize the phytochemical content as well as the antioxidant ability of the Moroccan species L. Besides crude ethanolic extract, two extracts obtained by sonication using two solvents with increased polarity, namely ethyl acetate (EtOAc) and methanol-water (MeOH-HO) 80:20 (/), were investigated by both spectroscopy and chromatography methods. Between the two extracts, the MeOH-HO one showed the highest total polyphenolic content equal to 32.
