| Abstract [eng] |
Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L. (Fabaceae)) is an important crop which accumulates vitamins A, D, E, and K. In addition to the nutritional components (proteins and carbohydrates) which are important in the use of alfalfa and other plants as animal feed or food supplements, the plants produce a variety of secondary metabolites. Alfalfa contains numerous secondary metabolites, but they are not yet fully characterized. The best studied secondary metabolite groups in alfalfa are carotenoids and saponins. Another important group of secondary metabolites in alfalfa are phenolic compounds. Phenolic compounds in plants include flavonoids. Flavonoids are usually found in plants as glycosides, i. e. provided with sugar substituents such as galactose, rhamnose or glucose, or glycoside malonates, and they are found in an almost bewildering diversity of forms. Biotechnological research has revealed additional benefits for the production of pharmaceuticals from alfalfa. [...]. |
